Legendary and Award Winning Country Music Artist Merle Haggard did a wonderful version of this timeless gospel hymn, One Day at a Time. Such a blessing to hear a gospel song from a man who may have messed up in the past. His voice conveys a heart that is healed and brings a powerful message out this song. Indeed, we are only human who can easily fall, but we have a perfect Savior, Jesus Christ, who can emphatize with us as long as we continue to trust and follow Him. Be blessed.

One Day at a Time Lyrics

Merle Haggard

I’m only human I’m just a man
Help me to believe in what I could 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
One day at a time sweet Jesus that’s all I’m asking from you
Give me the strength to do everyday 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

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


One day at a time sweet Jesus that’s all I’m asking from you
Give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do
Yesterday’s gone sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine
Yes just for my sake teach me to take one day at a time
