I live a simple life, I take it 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 Oh dear Lord, three things I pray To see thee more clearly To love thee more dearly To follow thee more nearly
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
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 Oh dear Lord, three things I pray To see thee more clearly To love thee more dearly To follow thee more nearly
