Day By Day
I live a simple life, I take a day at a time
Blinded by distractions
(chorus)
You cruise around the corner
You sweep your feet down alley streets
No, You cannot condemn me
(repeat chorus)
These three things
Day by day, by day, by day
(repeat chorus)
As you walk
[I'm gonna pray]
Day by day, by day, by day by
[I know I'm always safe with you]

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
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 [I got to take it]
Day by day
You watch your back
Sometimes you creep, I never see you coming
Monday, man you're on my back
Like a knapsack strapped with my heavy burden
I won't buy your bag of goods
You've got nothing for me anyway
That's why I pray
I do pray
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]
Day by day
Go to God and pray,
"I'm gonna go Your way"
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
[One day at a time]
