I'm only human - I'm just a man/woman

Help me believe in what I believe and all that I am

Show me the stairway that I have to climb,

Lord, for my sake, teach me to take, one day at a time.



One day at a time, sweet Jesus, that's all I'm asking of you

Teach me today, to do all the things that I have to do

Yesterdays gone, sweet Jesus, and tomorrow may never be mine

Lord, for my sake, teach 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.

There's cheating and stealing--violence and crime

So for my sake - teach me to take one day at a time.



One day at a time, sweet Jesus, that's all I'm asking of you

Teach me today, to do all the things that I have to do

Yesterdays gone, sweet Jesus, and tomorrow may never be mine

Lord, for my sake, teach me to take, one day at a time.
