I live a simple life, I take a day at a timeI spend my mornings with God before I hit the grindThe subtleties of darkness never cease to amazeAs a physical world creates a spiritual hazeBlinded by distractionsLost in matterless affairsReaching through the darknessTrusting You will meet me there(chorus)Day by day, day by dayDay by day, day by dayOh 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 dayYou cruise around the cornerYou watch your backYou sweep your feet down alley streetsSometimes you creep, I never see you comingMonday, man you’re on my backLike a knapsack strapped with my heavy burdenNo, You cannot condemn meI won’t buy your bag of goodsYou’ve got nothing for me anywayThat’s why I pray(repeat chorus)These three thingsI do prayDay by dayDay 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 walkDay by dayGo 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 byDay by day, by day, by day byDay by day, by day, by day, by day[I know I’m always safe with you][One day at a time]
