From the album The World as Best I Remember It, Vol. 1 (Reunion, 1992)
Rich Mullins makes his second appearance on our countdown (or count-up!) with Step By Step, his 7th #1 single from his first #1
album. "The Chorus of Sometimes by Step first appeared on The World as Best I Remember it, Vol 1 as a simple chorus written by Beaker called Step By Step. It
was sung by a young child and opened and closed the album. By Vol. 2, Rich had reworked it and written new lyrics to form verses around the now familiar chorus.
The song both opens and closes the album. The opening cut is sung first by a boy soprano before Rich takes up its plaintive refrain. On the closing track the song is sung by a large chorus. The little boy sings a single line a capella near the end to bring it all together. The song wasn't a radio hit so much, but it became a very popular chorus for contemporary worship services.
