One Day at a Time
Verse 1
I have walked through nights that never seemed to end,
Held my broken heart with trembling hands again.
I've lost more than words could ever truly say,
Yet somehow I still found strength to face today.
They've thrown stones at dreams I carried in my soul,
Tried to steal the fire that made my spirit whole.
But every scar became another line,
In the story that Heaven still calls mine.
Pre-Chorus
So I lift my eyes beyond the stormy skies,
Searching for a reason, searching for the light.
Chorus
One day at a time... that's all I need.
Just enough hope for my heart to breathe.
When tomorrow hides behind the rain,
I'll keep walking through the hurt and pain.
Though my tears may fall like rivers to the sea,
They'll never drown the faith inside of me.
One day at a time... I'll climb.
One day at a time.
Verse 2
I've watched doors close right before my face,
Still I learned that mercy moves at Heaven's pace.
Every setback planted seeds unseen,
Growing forests where the fire had been.
If the world forgets the battles that I've won,
Heaven knows the woman I've become.
I'm still standing though the winds have blown,
Because my soul belongs to God alone.
Bridge (A Cry to the Universe)
Can you hear me... across the endless skies?
Do my silent prayers still rise?
If my road is long, give me stronger feet.
If my heart grows tired, let Your heartbeat cover me.
I'm not asking for an easy way...
Only strength enough for one more day.
Final Chorus
One day at a time... I'll believe.
Even when I have nothing left but dreams.
Mountains bow when faith decides to stand.
Grace will always hold my weary hands.
Every sunrise whispers, "Don't let go."
The darkest nights still make the brightest dawn.
One day at a time... I'll rise.
One day at a time.
Outro (Prayer)
Lord, guide every step I take.
Heal every wound I cannot hide.
Open the doors no man can close.
Turn every tear into a testimony.
Bless the work of my hands.
Let peace become my home.
And when my strength is gone...
Carry me.
Amen.
