a lot of times God speaks to me through music. that is one of the reasons why i really like going to gospel choir… is that there’s always at least a song that completely speaks to me. well, this quarter there is two actually. i can relate to those words.
He Kept Me, Kurt Carr
i almost let go
i felt like i just couldn’t take life anymo’
my problems had me bound
depression weigh me down
but God held me close
so i wouldn’t let go
God’s mercy kept me
so i wouldn’t let go
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 grab 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
Still Standing, Israel & New Breed
You gave me courage to believe
that all your goodness I will see
and if it had not been for you
standing on my side where would I be
If not for your goodness
if not for your grace
I don’t know where I would be today
if not for your kindness
I never could say
I’m still standing
if not for your mercy
if not for your love
I most likely would have given up
if not for your favor
I never could say
I’m still standing
but by the grace of God
To you I lift my offering
and set my heart on higher things
for if it had not been for you
standing on my side where would I be
I’m still standing I’m standing I’m still standing but by the grace of God
