Day by Day

Day by day, I pick up my cross,
and carry it wherever I go
and I pray with all of my heart
each day ~ His ways He will show.

Hour by hour, I must die to self,
and all of my earthly desires
and I pray with all of my might
each hour ~ I'll do what He requires.

Minute by minute, I'm being tested,
to deny my own self-worth
and I pray with all of my mind
each minute ~ for a spiritual rebirth.

Moment by moment, I'm exposed,
to my old-self, my sin, the shame
and I pray with all of my soul
each moment ~ a new life in His name.

Day to day, I travel the road,
to give God my complete surrender
and I pray with all of my heart
each day ~ my life to God I will render.

Luke 9:23
King James Version

"And he said to hem all, If any man will
come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross daily, and follow
me."
