One Day at A Time
Words and Music by Marijohn Wilkin and Kris Kristofferson
1980

          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.
