I've come through many hard trials

Through temptations on every hand

Though satan's tried to stop me

And to place my feet on sinking sand

Through the pain and all of my sorrows

Through tears and all of my fears

The lord was there to keep me

For he's kept me in the midst of it all

Not because I've been so faithful

Not because I've always obeyed

It's not because I trust him

To be with me all of the way

But it's because he loves me so dearly

He was there to answer my call

There always to protect me

For he's kept me in the midst of it all

[Choir]

I've come through many hard trials

Through temptations on every hand

Though satan's tried to stop me

And to place my feet on sinking sand

Because jesus loves me dearly

He was there to answer my call

There always to protect me

For he's kept me in the midst of it all

[Chorus]

No he's never left me

And he' never let me fall

Oh yes he will protect you

For he's kept me in the midst of it all

[Vamp]

Yes, he kept me

Yes, jesus kept me

Jesus kept me [3x], in the midst of it all

For he's kept me in the midst of it all
