73. Jesus Is Keeping Me Day By Day

1 I want to be like Him—like Jesus, I do;
For He is the One who will carry me thro’;
Temptations and sin by His grace fade away,
For Jesus is keeping me day by day.

Refrain:
Jesus is keeping me day by day,
Oh, how His majesty brightens my way!
Each moment, each hour, I am kept by His power,
For Jesus is keeping me day by day.

2 I want to be like Him—abide in His love;
For Jesus, ‘twas He, left His bright home above,
To die on the cross and my sins wash away,
For Jesus is keeping me day by day. [Refrain]

3 I want to be like Him—and serve Him each day;
For Jesus will keep me from straying away,
If I will but trust Him, yes, trust and obey—
For Jesus is keeping me day by day. [Refrain]
