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

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

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]

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]
