Day By Day

I live a simple life, I take a day at a time

I spend my mornings with God before I hit the grind

The subtleties of darkness never cease to amaze

As a physical world creates a spiritual haze

Blinded by distractions

Lost in matterless affairs

Reaching through the darkness

Trusting You will meet me there

Day by day, day by day

Day by day, day by day

Oh dear Lord, three things I pray (one, two, three)

To see thee more clearly (day by day)

To love thee more dearly (day by day)

To follow thee more nearly (I got to take it)

Day by day

You cruise around the corner

You watch your back

You sweep your feet down alley streets

Sometimes you creep, I never see you coming

Monday, man you're on my back

Like a knapsack strapped with my heavy burden

No, You cannot condemn me

I won't buy your bag of goods

You've got nothing for me anyway

That's why I pray

Day by day, day by day

Day by day, day by day

Oh dear Lord, three things I pray (one, two, three)

To see thee more clearly (day by day)

To love thee more dearly (day by day)

To follow thee more nearly (I got to take it)

Day by day

These three things

I do pray

Day by day

Day by day, by day, by day

(These three things)

Day by day, by day, by day

(I do pray)

Day by day, by day, by day, by day [2x] (it's one step out of time)

Day by day, day by day

Day by day, day by day

Oh dear Lord, three things I pray (one, two, three)

To see thee more clearly (day by day)

To love thee more dearly (day by day)

To follow thee more nearly (I got to take it)

Day by day

As you walk

Day by day

Go to God and pray,

"I'm gonna go Your way"

(I'm gonna pray)

See thee more clearly (every day)

Love thee more dearly (oooh, oh yeah)

Follow thee more nearly (I'm gonna go your way)

Does any body hear me?

Day by day, by day, by day by

Day by day, by day, by day by

Day by day, by day, by day, by day

(I know I'm always safe with you)

(One day at a time)
