Day In, and Day Out

We live - day in, and day out.
We sleep - day in and day out.
We brush the same teeth, comb the same hair, wash the same body - day in, and day out.
We open the same curtains, pull out the same chairs, and type in the same logins and passwords - day in, and day out.

We pour the same coffee, we read the same newspaper, and we throw on the same clothes - day in, and day out.
We drive the same way to school or work - day in, and day out.

We go to classrooms, we do the homework over and over and over again - day in, and day out.
We wrack the same brains, we pull out the same hair, we get the same frazzled looks in our souls - day in, and day out.

Would there ever be a way out from this day in, and day out?
For hoping to change this day in and day out is the chasing after the wind, the nothing new under the sun.

We come home from work the same way, alcohol pit-stop on the way or not - day in, and day out.
We come home to the same building, we sit down at the same table, and we eat off the same plates - day in, and day out.

We watch the same news, we look at the same weather forecaster, and we think all the same about the next day in, and day out.
We climb the same stairs, push the same chairs back in, and turn out the same lights - day in, and day out.

So what's the answer to climb out of this day in and day out?
God - pure and simple. He plucks us out of our days in, and days out, to where his day is never ending, and his plan is overflowing.
So that he may have his glory through us, and we will not have so much of the same - day in, or day out.
