Posted by Hello "Day by Day" by dc Talk on Jesus Freak

Here's proof that the musical Godspell is timeless: Today's Song of the Day, "Day by Day" by dc Talk (and that's a lot of alliteration) updates the showtune's lyrics with the Alternative spin of modern music and does so beautifully. Here's the chorus from both songs:

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
Though I usually don't care for poetry or listen to lyrics I can't help but love these for content and brilliance. The original Stephen Schwartz chorus is blended by dc Talk into a body covering contemporary needs for prayer to complete the update. It's nice being in my 40s so I know the older music and can appreciate it, but songs like this make me wish I was younger and in better shape to get dancin' again. Praise the Lord I'm young at heart.

By the way, enlarge the picture above by clicking on it and look for song 96, "La Mujer De Terah." That's a track by Continuo and one Website I found mentions it is about the birth of Abraham while another translates the title to English as "The woman of Terah." But know two things for sure: I don't understand Hebrew (good thing I usually don't listen to lyrics) and I really love this song. Like the current SOD, it's available on iTunes.
