I may be misinformed, but I do believe that Larry Gatlin wrote this song.

ONE DAY AT A TIME

Words and music: Marijohn Wilkins and Kris Kristofferson

(Words and chords as posted above.)

I also found more info on the copyright, here
http://www.namethathymn.com/hymn-lyrics-detective-forum/index.php?a=vtopic&t=556&p=2

"This song was written by Marijohn Wilkins and Kris Kristofferson. The copyright is held by Buckhorn Music Publishers of which MariJohn Wilkins is the owner. She has written many other songs such as Scars in the Hands of Jesus, I have Returned, His Kind of Love, He Loved Me Enough. She also wrote The Long Black Veil, Waterloo."

(Note: Marijohn Wilkins passed away recently, within the last year, if I recall correctly.)

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)

FWIW, the copyright date is at least as early as 1974. That's the copyright date (Buckhorn Music) on sheet music for this song, as recorded by Marilyn Sellars on Mega Records.

I must say I prefer the version with the "pushin' and shovin'n crowdin' my mind " line to the law n'order modification about 'Cheating and stealing, ,violence and crime" sung by Christy Lane and Wanda Jackson.
I'm not religious myself, but have sometimes wondered whether the questioning of Jesus over his memory in verse two mightn't sound a little blasphemous to believers. Beautiful song all the same .

Subject: Lyr Add: ONE DAY AT A TIME--in Welsh
From: Chris in Portland

Here's the Welsh version:
Un dydd ar y tro, fy Iesu - Yma fy hunan nid wyf ond bychan
Dysg i mi weld yr hyn ydwyf i a'r hyn allaf fod
Dangos fy nghyfle beth bynnag y bo
I weithio dros Dduw, ond dysg i mi fyw - Un dydd ar y tro

Mae ddoe wedi mynd fy Iesu - A fory gall fod yn rhy hwyr
Bydd di wrth y llyw i'm harwain i fyw - Fy nyddiau yn llwyr
A dysg i mi wneud fy ngorau - I bawb bwy bynnag y bo
O Iesu, fab Duw, dysg i mi fyw - Un dydd ar y tro

Buost dy hunan ar ddaear fel fi
O Iesu, fab Duw, dysg i mi fyw yn fwy tebyg i Ti
Cerdded ar y llwybr er garwed y bo
O cymer fy llaw beth bynnag a ddaw
Un dydd ar y tro

One day at a time, my Jesus - Here by myself I am but small
Teach me to see what I can be -Show me my chances whatever they may be
To work for God, but teach me to live - One day at a time

Yesterday has gone, my Jesus - And tomorrow it may be too late
You'll be at the helm to lead me to live - My days completely
And teach me to do my best- For everyone, whoever they are
Oh Jesus, son of God, teach me to live - One day at a time

You yourself were on the earth like me - Oh Jesus, son of God, teach me to live more like you
To walk the path though it is rough - Oh take my hand whatever may come - One day at a time
