When we are baptized we promise to remember our Saviour always and take his name upon us. I really like the song "Day by Day" from the 1971 musical Godspell. It's very simple message is repeated over and over because its demonstrating how we need to stay focused as life keeps bringing us a new day, often very similar from the last.
There is a scene in the movie Meet the Parents where Greg is asked to say grace for the family dinner. He agrees but is very uncomfortable about what he should say. Halfway through his prayer he remembers this "Day by Day" song and decides to recite it word for word as he concludes his offering. This scene makes me really smile, okay truthfully it cracks me up. But regardless of Ben Stiller's antics, I resonate these sentiments.
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
Here is the scene
And here is the song performed by a revival cast, they sing "You are the Light of the World" as well.
