One day at a time Lord song lyrics
One day at a time, Lord
That's all I can do
With each step I take
I'll keep my faith in you
The road ahead is long
And the trials may be tough
But I'll keep moving forward
With your love and your strength, enough
(Chorus)
One day at a time, Lord
That's how I'll face each day
With your hand guiding me
I'll find my way
Through the darkness and the light
I'll trust in your design
One day at a time, Lord
My life is in your hands, divine
(Verse 2)
Sometimes I may stumble
And my courage may falter
But I'll hold onto your promise
That you'll never let me falter
You give me peace and hope
When the world seems to crumble
I'll keep my eyes on you, Lord
And my fears, I'll let them go, tumble
(Chorus)
One day at a time, Lord
That's how I'll face each day
With your hand guiding me
I'll find my way
Through the darkness and the light
I'll trust in your design
One day at a time, Lord
My life is in your hands, divine
(Bridge)
I'll keep my heart open
To your love and your grace
I'll surrender my worries
And let you take their place
For you are my rock
And my steady guide
One day at a time, Lord
With you by my side
(Chorus)
One day at a time, Lord
That's how I'll face each day
With your hand guiding me
I'll find my way
Through the darkness and the light
I'll trust in your design
One day at a time, Lord
My life is in your hands, divine
(Outro)
One day at a time, Lord
I'll walk with you, I'll abide
For with you, anything is possible
And I'll take it one day at a time.
One day at a time, Lord
That's all I can do
With each step I take
I'll keep my faith in you
The road ahead is long
And the trials may be tough
But I'll keep moving forward
With your love and your strength, enough
