I am posting Kris K and Marijohn W's song, One Day At a Time, with some adaptations and new verses. The original lyrics are also posted here. I thought of posting them in the Gospel Sing thread, but I thought that was specifically for that 9/11/01 date and did not know if it was current.

One Day At A Time

This song was written by Kris Kristofferson and Marijohn Wilkinson ca. 1971.
Adaptation and new verses by Jeanene Pratt May 16, 1999 (verses 3 and 4); Sept. 17, 2001 (verse 4).

Chorus:
One day at a time, sweet Jesus, that's all we're asking from you.
Give us the strength to do every day what we have to do.
Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus, and tomorrow may never be mine.
Show us the way; Lord, help us to take one day at a time.

We're only human, just men and women.
Help us to see the world that can be in your divine plan.
Show us that stairway we have to climb.
For our chilren's sake, help us to take one day at a time.

Chorus

We call it progress, technology's stride.
Making it bigger and stronger and faster is our human pride.
Without your guidance it's not worth a dime.
It's all in your hands, Lord, show us your plan
One day at a time.

Chorus

The tower of Babel was to reach to the sky.
Today we're more able, yet we still babble, don't see eye to eye.
Our weapons are smarter but peace we can't find.
Knowledge we prize, but please make us wise
One day at a time.

Chorus

Do you remember when you walked among men?
Well, Jesus, you know, if you're looking below, it's worse now than then.
Insane terrorism, unspeakable crimes!
For humanity's sake, please help us to take one day at a time.

Chorus

One Day At A Time

(Kris Kristofferson and Marijohn Wilkinson ca. 1971)

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 gone, sweet Jesus, and tomorrow may never be mine.
Show me the way; Lord, help me to take one day at a time.

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

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 gone, sweet Jesus, and tomorrow may never be mine.
Show me the way; Lord, 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.
Pushing and shoving, crowding my mind.*
Lord, for my sake, please help me to take one day at a time.

One day at a time, sweet Jesus, that's all we're asking from you.
Give us the strength to do every day what we have to do.
Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus, and tomorrow may challenge our minds.
Show us the way, Lord, help us to take one day at a time.
