Lyrics
Day By Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
(repeat chorus)
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]
(repeat chorus)
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]
