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 (ONE, TWO, THREE)
TO SEE THEE MORE CLEARLY (DAY BY DAY)
TO LOVE THEE MORE DEARLY (DAY BY DAY)
TO FOLLOW THEE MORE NEARLY, DAY BY DAY
You sweep your feet down alley streets
Sometimes you creep, I never see you comin'
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
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 (it's one step out of time)
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 (every day)
Love thee more dearly (woah, yeah)
Follow thee more nearly
Can 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
