E A F G E A F G
[Verse 1]
I Elive a simple life, I take a Gday at a time
I spend my Amornings with God before i Fhit the grind
The Esubtleties of darkness never Gcease to amaze
As a pAhysical world creates a Fspiritual haze
EBlinded Gby distractions
ALost in Cmatterless affEairs
Reaching Gthrough the darkness
ATrusting you will Cmeet me there
[Chorus]
EDay by dAay. EDay by Aday
EOh dear ALord, three Ethings I praAy
To see thee more cClearly
ATo love thee more dCearly
ATo follow thee more neCarlyE

EYou sweep your feet down Galley street
SomeAtimes you creep I never Fsee you coming
