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
