"In need, I find you oh Lord.

Help me see, I want to know what I must do!

Show me the way, which I must follow!

Lord, for my own good I want to live - one day at a time.

One day at a time, my Lord - that's what I ask of you.

Give me the strength to go on living, one day at a time.

Yesterday's gone, my Lord, and tomorrow may not come.

So help me today. I want to live, one day at a time.

So help me today. I want to live, one day at a time!"

It would have been overwhelming to experience in person. As mentioned above, it was performed with love.

Thank you, applegrove.

And not exactly the song, but I believe what they are singing is based on this.


Needy
Necesitado

I find myself, Lord
Me encuentro, Señor

Help me see, I want to know
Ayúdame a ver, yo quiero saber

what should i do
Lo que debo hacer
show the way
Muestra el camino

what should i follow
Que debo seguir

Lord, for my own good, I want to live
Señor, por mi bien, yo quiero vivir

One day at a time
Un día a la vez
One day at a time, my God
Un día a la vez, Dios mío

is what I ask of you
Es lo que pido de ti

Give me the strength to live
Dame la fuerza para vivir

One day at a time
Un día a la vez
Yesterday is over, my God
Ayer ya paso, Dios mío

Tomorrow, maybe he won't come
Mañana, quizá no vendrá

help me today
Ayúdame hoy

I want to live one day at a time
Yo quiero vivir un día a la vez
you already lived
Tú ya viviste

Between the men
Entre los hombres

You know, my God, that today is worse
Tú sabes, mi Dios, que hoy está peor

It's a lot of pain
Es mucho el dolor
there is a lot of selfishness
Hay mucho egoísmo

and a lot of evil
Y mucha maldad

Lord, for my own good, I want to live
Señor, por mi bien, yo quiero vivir

One day at a time
Un día a la vez
One day at a time, my God
Un día a la vez, Dios mío

is what I ask of you
Es lo que pido de ti

Give me the strength to live
Dame la fuerza para vivir

One day at a time
Un día a la vez
Yesterday is over, my God
Ayer ya paso, Dios mío

Tomorrow, maybe he won't come
Mañana, quizá no vendrá

help me today
Ayúdame hoy

I want to live one day at a time
Yo quiero vivir un día a la vez
Help me today, I want to live
Ayúdame hoy, yo quiero vivir

One day at a time
Un día a la vez

I started to cry when I looked at the faces of the musicians. Every one showed pain and sadness and every one was determined to play and sing the best they ever had.
