Day by day
Oh Dear Lord
Three things I pray
To see thee more clearly
Love thee more dearly
Follow thee more nearly
Day by day

Oh Dear Lord
Three things I pray
To see thee more clearly
Love thee more dearly
Follow thee more nearly
Day by day
The lyrics to Cast of Godspell's song Day By Day reflect a deep sense of devotion and spiritual yearning. It is a simple yet powerful prayer to the Divine to grant the singer the ability to see, love and follow more closely. The repetition of the phrase "Day by day" emphasizes the importance of committing to daily spiritual practice and growth.
The first line of the song, "Day by day, day by day," sets the tone for the entire piece. It suggests a sense of rhythm and routine, a commitment to a daily spiritual practice. The singer then addresses the "Dear Lord" and asks for three things: the ability to see more clearly, to love more dearly, and to follow more nearly. These requests are not material or surface-level, but rather speak to a deep desire for spiritual growth and connection.

The idea for it comes from the 13th century - from Chichester in England, Saint Richard - God bless him (as He did)...
