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 the 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 You more clearly (day by day) To love You more dearly (day by day) To follow You 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 You more clearly (day by day) To love You more dearly (day by day) To follow You more nearly Day by day These three things, I do pray Day by day Day by day, by day, by day (Day by day) Day by day, by day, by day (Day by day) Day by day, by day, by day, by day (Day by day, day by day, day by day) Day by day (day by day) Day by day (day by day) Oh dear Lord, three things I pray To see You more clearly (day by day) To love You more dearly (day by day) To follow You more nearly Day by day As you walk (day by day) Oh, day by day (day by day) Oh you gotta pray (oh dear Lord) I'm gonna go Your way (three things I pray) See Thee more clearly (oh, every day) Love Thee more dearly (oh, oh, yeah) Follow Thee more nearly (I'm gonna go your way) Can anybody hear me? Day by day, by day, by day Day by day, by day, by day Day by day, by day, by day, by day
