Correction: Marijohn Wilkin (no "s") passed away in Nov. 2006 at age 86. (I'm sure we have an Obit thread here.)

Here are the modified lyrics sung by Christy Lane and by Wanda Jackson
ONE DAY AT A TIME
Writers Kris Kristofferson, Marijohn Wilkin

I'm only human, I'm just a woman.
Help me believe in what I could be and all that I am.
Show me that stairway I have to climb.
Lord, for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time.

Chorus: One day at a time, sweet Jesus,
That's all I'm asking from you.
Give me the strength to do every day what I have to do.
Yesterday's gonem sweet Jesus,
And tomorrow may never be mine.
Show me the way, help me to take one day at a time.

Do you remember when you walked among men?
Well, Jesus, you know if you're looking below, It's worse now, than then:
Cheating and stealing, violence and crime.
So, for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time.

(Chorus)
