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
[Chorus]
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 [I got to take it]
Day by day
You cruise around the corner
You watch your back
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
[Chorus]
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 (2x) [it's one step out of time]
[Chorus]
As you walk
Day by day
Go 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 by
Day by day, by day, by day by
Day by day, by day, by day, by day
[I know I'm always safe with you]
[One day at a time]
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 [Chorus] 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 [I got to take it] Day by day You cruise around the corner You watch your back 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 [Chorus] 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 (2x) [it's one step out of time] [Chorus] As you walk Day by day Go 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?
