I almost let go, I felt like I couldn't take life anymore
My problems had me bound, depression weighed 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 I 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

Chorus

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

I almost let go, I felt like I couldn't take life anymore
My problems had me bound, depression weighed me down
But God held me close, so I wouldn't let go.
God's Mercy kept me, so I wouldn't let go

chorus

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, god kept me,
he kept me, god kept me, he kept me, god kept me, he kept me, (rept)
So I wouldn't let go
