I live a simple life, I take a day at a timeI spend my mornings with God before I hit the grindThe subtleties of darkness never cease to amazeAs a physical world creates a spiritual haze Blinded by distractionsLost in matterless affairsReaching through the darknessTrusting You will meet me there (chorus)Day by day, day by dayDay by day, day by dayOh 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 cornerYou watch your back You sweep your feet down alley streetsSometimes you creep, I never see you comingMundane, man you''re on my backLike a knapsack strapped with my heavy burden No, You cannot condemn meI won''t buy your bag of goodsYou''ve got nothing for me anywayThat''s why I pray (repeat chorus) These three thingsI do prayDay 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 walkDay by dayGo 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 byDay by day, by day, by day byDay by day, by day, by day, by day [I know I''m always safe with you][One day at a time]
