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
(chorus)
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
Mundane, 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
(repeat chorus)
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
(repeat chorus)
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
