Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-oh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-oh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-oh)
I've been burdened and I've been tried
I've been hurting with pain inside
I've had trouble on every hand
So many days I could barely stand
My hands got tired of holding on
Felt like I just could not go on
Every time I almost let go
God has kept me
Every time I almost let go
God has kept me
There's been times when I could not see
I had to cry myself to sleep
I've had people to walk away
And I've been put down for my mistakes
And there's been times when I've felt alone
I've had to walk some lonely roads but
Every time I almost let go
God has kept me
And every time I almost let go
God has kept me
And ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
And there's been times every now and then
I wanted to throw the towel in
Didn't want to cry, didn't want to pray
Throw my hands in the air and just walk away
God never left me, never let me go
His grace and mercy always held me close
Every time I almost let go, God has kept me (God has kept me)
And every time I almost let go, God has kept me, oh
God kept me (God has kept me)
Yes, He kept me (yes, He kept me)
God kept me (God has kept me)
Yes, He kept me (yes, He kept me)
Sometimes I'll stray away (God has kept me)
God, He kept me (yes, He kept me)
Every time I made a mistake (God has kept me)
God has kept me (yes, He kept me)
Through storm and rain (God has kept me)
Even through the sickness and pain (yes, He kept me)
Sometimes with tears in my eyes (God has kept me)
Nobody but the Lord has (yes, He kept me)
Yes, oh the Lord
(God has kept me)
Ooh
(Yes, He kept me)
Every time I almost let go
God has kept me
Every time I almost let go
God has kept me
