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
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 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

These three things
I do pray
day by day
