Song Meaning

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.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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.
