Day by Day

This morning I woke up with the lyrics of the Godspell song Day by Day running through my head. I haven’t thought of that song for 40 years or so! I went to You Tube and saw a video of the original cast and crew singing the song. Oh what simple, uncomplicated times the 1970s were, as I look back on them now.

I love the song lyrics as much today as I did then. Do you remember them?

Day by day,

Day, by day,

Oh dear Lord, three things I pray.

To see Thee more clearly,

To love Thee more dearly,

To follow Thee more nearly,

Day by day.

Wow! What a beautiful prayer this song is. It seems to me that we being invited to take a break from focusing upon the troubles of our day to turn our attention toward God. Simply put, we can seek to see, love and follow our God more clearly, dearly and nearly. This sounds like a recipe for peace to me. May it be so!
