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
