The Johnny Thompson Singers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Strength I find, to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment,
I've no cause for worry or for fear.
He Whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
Gives unto each day what He deems best
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
Day by Day, He guides, me all the way
Day by Day, The lord keeps
Day by Day, He guides me all the way
Day by Day, The Lord keeps me a way
He Whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
Day by Day, Jesus guides me all the way
Day by Day, The Lords keeps me a way
Day by Day, He guides me every way
Day by Day, He keeps on making a way!
