Hi guys. Can someone please help me find the female artist or female group of the Very old gospel song Step by Step. It starts.. . Step by step. Day by day. I'm on my way.. . But in the very beginning of the song the lady is telling a story or talking. This song is probably out of the late 80's or early 90's.

Step By Step - Written by David "Beaker" Strasser (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaker_(musician)) (1991)

Whitney Houston (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVyO0I_kJuw) sings Step By Step from the soundtrack of The Preachers Wife.

Over the years there have been many different versions. I hope this is the one you are looking for.

Song lyrics to Step By Step

Well there's a bridge and there's a river that I still must cross
As I'm going on my journey
Oh, I might be lost

And there's a road I have to follow, a place I have to go
Well no-one told me just how to get there
But when I get there I'll know
Cuz I'm taking it
Chorus:

Step By Step, Bit by Bit,
Stone By Stone (Yeah), Brick by Brick (Oh, yeah)
Step By Step, Day By Day, Mile by mile (ooh, ooh, ooh)

And this old road is rough and ruined
So many dangers along the way
So many burdens might fall upon me
So many troubles that I have to face
Oh, but I won't let my spirit fail me
Oh, I won't let my spirit go
Until I get to my destination
I'm going to take it slowly because I'm making it mine
Chorus:

Step By Step (you know I'm taking it), bit by bit (bit by bit, come move),
Stone by stone (yeah), brick by brick (brick by brick by brick by brick mmm... )
Step by step (step by step uh-huh), day by day (day by day-ee),
Mile by mile (ooh), go your own way.

Say it, baby, don't give up
You got to hold on to what you got,
Oh, baby, don't give up,
You got to keep on moving on don't stop (yeah yeah).
I know you're hurting, and I know you're blue,
I know you're hurting but don't let the bad things get to you.
Chorus:

I'm taking it step by step (ohohoh), bit by bit (bit by bit come move),
Stone by stone (stone by stone yeah), brick by brick (brick by brick by brick by brick),
Step by step (I'm going to take it now),day by day (day by day-ee),
Mile by mile (ooh), go your own way!
(c'mon baby got to keep moving),
I'm taking it step by step), bit by bit,
Stone by stone (yeah, stone by stone), brick by brick
c'mon baby,
Step by step keep on moving, day by day (day by day-ee),
Mile by mile by mile by mile,go your own way,
c'mon baby got to keep moving, bit by bit (bit by bit, bit by bit)...
