Song 3: One day at a time

I am sitting in class and trying to make heads of what my professor is saying and all I can think of is this song as its been on my mind for a very long time. I have gotten to a point in my life where I feel so impatient and want life to move as fast as it can. Cant wait to be done with my masters program, impatient to start a real paying job/start a full time career {as they say it} and other things I am not at liberty to mention here 😛

I wake up everyday and feel the monotony of my life drop on me and then sadness just seems like it wants to grop and swallow me {they say life here in ‘Gods own country is like that} but just before it feels like that bad ‘d’ word is about to take over, this song creeps into my mind and I remember that I have Somebody that loves me more than I can fathom, wants the best for me and has a whole lot of good stuff planned for me. Only if I can be patient enough for His ‘little’ surprises to be made manifest. I remember that living this life is not about me but living for His glory and according to His purpose for bringing me into this world.

Then I go on facebook and the news I read from people statutes {facebook is my only source of keeping in touch with the world…ehn, I no get tv and I no like to read newspaper..sue me} makes wonder about life. People killing people, bombing places without consideration of the innocent lives that are involved. Power play and all sorts of crazy stuff, and I think all this hustle, what is the point? Who knows where one would be when these crazies are happening. But I remember I have a God who has promised to protect me and keep me safe and I say to myself “Babe, just take it ‘one day at a time'”.

I hope the lyrics as well as the song touches you as it has me. Enjoy.

I’m only human, I’m just a woman.
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 asking from you.
Just give me the strength
To do everyday what I have to do.
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 looking below
It’s worse now, than then.
Cheating and stealing, violence and crime
So for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.
