Woke up ‘fore the sun, same ache in my bones
Same empty kitchen, same silent home
Truck keys by the door, but I ain’t sure why
A man gets tired just tryin’ to try
Dust in my lungs and dirt in my veins
Years workin’ hard and nothin’ to gain
I been bendin’ low, I been carryin’ weight
Feels like the good Lord’s runnin’ late
I bowed my head a thousand times
But heaven’s been quiet on the other line
So gimme just enough for today
Just a little light to find my way
I ain’t askin’ for a miracle
Just somethin’ small, somethin’ I can hold
When my faith runs thin and my hands start to shake
Lord, don’t let me break
Gimme just enough for today
So I can make it to tomorrow
I seen good men fall and not get back up
Seen strong hearts drown at the bottom of a cup
Heard mamas cry and children pray
Still some folks just fade away
I tried your word, I tried that grace
But it feels like I’m losin’ this race
And I ain’t ashamed to say out loud
I’m scared I ain’t gonna make you proud
But if you’re still listenin’ somewhere above
I could sure use a little bit of love
So gimme just enough for today
Just a little hope that won’t slip away
I ain’t askin’ you to part the sea
Just stand a while here next to me
When the night’s too long and the road’s too far
Be my spark in the dark
Gimme just enough for today
So I can make it to tomorrow
I ain’t lookin’ for a grand design
Just a reason not to say goodbye
If there’s a purpose in this pain
Lord, whisper it through this rain
‘Cause I’m standin’ on the edge right now
And I don’t know if, I don’t know how
But I’ll take one step if you’ll meet me there
Halfway through this worn-out prayer
Just enough, to breathe again
Just enough, to try again
Just enough, to hold the line
Till the mornin’ breaks this night of mine
So gimme just enough for today
Just a little strength so I can stay
I ain’t askin’ for forever now
Just one more day, I’ll figure out how
If tomorrow comes, I’ll thank your name
And ask you the same
Gimme just enough for today
So I can make it to tomorrow
