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



These three things

I do pray

Day by day
