Day by day, bit by bit, life will grow as is fit,
Chorus
Lord, grant me today’s supply of grace; May Your divine life grow apace; Little by little, day by day, to grow More and more, into You.
Verse 1
Day by day, bit by bit, life will grow as is fit, Increasing gradually until, However imperceptibly, Your life matures within me.
Verse 2
I would be desperately, constantly, patiently, Drawing each breath of life from You, Lord; Knowing that every day while I breathe, Your life will permeate me.
Verse 3
Every day, may I rest, knowing that each bequest, Matches my daily need exactly; Jesus Christ intercedes for me, A member of His body.
Chorus
Lord, grant me a heavenly, corporate view; That all of my growth and prayers to You, Little by little, day by day, Would cause building up into You.
Verse 4
We would be corporately, growing up steadily Till we reach the stature of Your fullness; Transforming and conforming us, Your Manifested people.
Chorus
Lord, grant me today’s supply of grace; May Your divine life grow apace; Little by little, day by day, to grow More and more, into You.
Chorus
Lord, grant me a heavenly, corporate view; That all of my growth and prayers to You, Little by little, day by day, Would cause building up into the New Jerusalem.
