words by Marijohn Wilkins (1920-2006) & Kris Kristofferson (1936-)
music by Marijohn Wilkins & Kris Kristofferson

I'm only human, I'm just a man,
Help me believe in what I could be,
And all that I am.
Show me the stairway 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 askin' from You,
Just give me the strength
To do everyday what I have to do.
Oh! Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus,
And tomorrow may never be mine,
Lord, help me today, show me the way
One day at a time.

Do you remember when you walked among men?
Well, Jesus you know, if you're lookin' below,
It seems worse now than then,
Pushin' and shovin', crowdin' my mind,
So for my sake, Lord, teach me to take
One day at a time.

CHORUS
