I almost gave up.
I was right at the edge of a breakthrough but couldn’t see it
The devil really had me;
But Jesus came and grabbed me,
And He held me close,
So I wouldn’t let go.
God’s mercy kept me,
So I wouldn’t let go.

So I’m here today because God kept me.
I’m alive today,

Only because of His grace.
Oh, He Kept me,
God Kept me,
He kept me,
So I wouldn’t let go.

[Lead:]
I almost Let go.
I felt like I just couldn’t take life any more,
My problems had me bound,
Depression weighed me down,
God held me close
So I wouldn’t let go.
God’s mercy kept me,
So I wouldn’t let go.

So I’m here today because God kept me.
I’m alive today, only because of His grace.
Oh, He Kept me, God Kept me, He kept me, So I wouldn’t let go
