Albertina Walker's 'Lord Keep Me Day By Day' is a live gospel performance that expresses a heartfelt prayer for daily spiritual preservation and strength. The song uses the metaphor of a building not made by hands to refer to heaven, emphasizing the believer's journey as a stranger in a barren world. It asks God to keep the singer pure, strong, and graceful to run the Christian race. The lyrics reflect a deep dependence on God for guidance and endurance, echoing themes from 2 Corinthians 5:1 about an eternal heavenly dwelling.
Lord, keep me day by day,
in a pure, and perfect way.
I want to live, I want to live on
in a building not made by hand.
I'm just a stranger here,
traveling through this barren land.
Lord, I know there's a building somewhere,
in a building not made by hand.
Lord, keep my body strong
so that I can do no wrong.
Lord, give me grace just to run this Christian race
to a building not made by hand.
