Songs of the Heart #1 - 'Day by Day'

It all started with a journal entry...

June 12th, 2007
Day by Day, 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.
- from Godspell

This chorus has been running through my mind for nearly 24 hours now. These are the things I should be desiring most! To see You clearer in everything around me; to love You with all my heart, soul and mind; and to follow You so closely that I don't know where I end and You begin. That's what I should be praying for, not the frivolous crap I normally ask You for.

So forgive me, Lord, and help me to desire these things more than anything else. And because I can't state them any more eloquently, I will just repeat them in their beautiful simplicity.

Day by day, 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.
