"One Day at a Time" is a popular country and western-style Christian song written by Marijohn Wilkin and Kris Kristofferson.
The song failed to chart in its first release, but a re-release two years later became a big success and reached No.
Lane had started enjoying mainstream success in the late 1970s through the release of several secular hits, including "Let Me Down Easy" and "Simple Little Words."
The song went on to be recorded by many artists, including the Alexander Brothers, Judy Collins, Phil Coulter, Floyd Cramer, Carlene Davis, Florida Boys, Roger Whittaker, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Foster and Allen, Bill Gaither, Lynda Randle, Ivan Parker, The King's Heralds, Don Gibson, Arthur Greenslade, Lee Greenwood, Roy Drusky, George Hamilton IV, Lulu Roman, and Brotherhood of Man.
The Quebec country singer André Breton recorded the French version "Un jour à la fois".
