Overall Meaning

Robin Lamont's "Day by Day" is a simple yet powerful song that expresses a deep spiritual devotion. The song is essentially a prayer to God, asking Him for guidance and strength to live life in a way that is more loving, more peaceful, and more in line with His will. The singer repeats the same three things she prays for -- to see God more clearly, to love Him more dearly, and to follow Him more nearly -- day by day, emphasizing the importance of daily commitment and growth. The song is a reminder to take life one day at a time and to focus on the things that truly matter, such as faith, love, and spiritual growth.


The song's message is amplified by its simple, repetitive melody and lyrics. The repetition creates a meditative and contemplative atmosphere, encouraging the listener to reflect on their own spiritual journey and relationship with God. The use of the pronoun "thee" adds a touch of old-fashioned solemnity and reverence, bringing to mind traditional hymns and prayers. The song's minor key also adds a layer of sadness and longing, conveying a sense of yearning for a deeper connection with God.


Overall, "Day by Day" is a beautiful and heartfelt expression of faith and devotion. Its simplicity and sincerity make it a timeless classic that continues to inspire and uplift listeners to this day.

Hortense234 - How sad you feel this way.. I think back to ALL the men who gave their lives for the Scriptures alone.. Then to all the men before those men, who Followed Him, even Jesus the Christ, and for 1,, (John the revelator) all the rest were killed for their absolute belief in Jesus the Christ, after He went back to Heaven..

Then to all the men who believed in Jesus the Christ, and came from all across the world, to America, to practice their beliefs in Freedom, who were routinely driven from place to place because of their beliefs, and then traveled across the Nation, over 2,000 miles on foot to find religious freedom.. And along the way, they saw their children die, and a lot of these believing Men, also gave their very lives, so their families could go on and find religious freedom..

And then, to all the good men today, who are taking care of their families and then going out and helping other men and women, broken families, etc., in need..

Whatever reason for causing you to hate men so much, I hope that one day, you will just let it go.. The Saviour, a Man, is ready and willing to lift you up and care for you, because you are His sister.. He will be ever waiting and watching over you to come back..

With Love, and I pray the Comforter will be near for you..

My wife and I were engaged to be married and preparing the wedding in the spring/summer of 1972 when this became a hit that summer. It still reminds me of the wonderful time we spent each day of that year. The long walks on Milford Beach in Milford Connecticut, married in September 1972, we are celebrating our 46 wedding anniversary this coming weekend, September 23. A wonderful marriage and a wonderful blessed song. thank you Robin Lamont!

Congratulations Vinnie. We are at 20 years. So thankful we could fall in love and spend our youth before all the phones. Less distractions.

@leonardwhitehead900

Congratulations. If my wife was not in Heaven we would have been married almost as long as you. Wishing you and your wife many more years of God's blessings.

When I feel disconnected from God, I go back to these songs from my adolescence, and they fill my heart with love.
