[Verse 1]
I'm only human, I'm just a man
Help me to believe in what I can be 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
[Chorus]
One day at a time, sweet Jesus, that's all I'm asking of 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
So for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time
[Verse 2]
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
So 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 of 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
So for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time
[Outro]
Yes, just for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time
