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 To see thee more clearly To love thee more dearly To follow thee more nearly Day by day 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 To see thee more clearly To love thee more dearly To follow thee more nearly Day by day These three things, I do pray Day by day Day by day, by day, by day Day by day, by day, by day Day by day, by day, by day, by day (2x) Day by day, day by day Day by day, day by day Oh dear Lord, three things I pray To see thee more clearly To love thee more dearly To follow thee more nearly Day by day As you walk Day by day Go to God and pray, "I'm gonna go Your way" See thee more clearly Love thee more dearly Follow thee more nearly 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
