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 comin'
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 nothin' 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
Day by day, by day, by day
(Day by day)
Day by day, by day, by day
(Day by day)
Day by day, by day, by day, by day
(It's one step at a 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
(You got to take it)
Day by day
As you walk
(Day by day)
Day by day
(Day by day)
Go to God and pray
(Day by day)
I'm gonna go Your way
(Day by day)
I'm gonna pray
See Thee more clearly
(Everyday)
Love Thee more dearly
(Ooh, oh yeah)
Follow Thee more nearly
(I'm gonna go your way)
Does anybody 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)
