God Kept Me
COPYRIGHT 2007

A good friend asked me the other day
What's that smile upon your face?
I know all the pain that you've been through
Must of had some affect on you
I jumped right out of my seat right then
Testified to how good God's been
These are the words I told my friend
God spared my life again
Cause I should have been dead and gone
Sleeping in my grave, God told death get back and behave
Dead and gone but my life goes on, God kept me.

Maybe you've had problems too
You know God's been good to you
He brought us all a mighty long way
We ought to give God praise today
Stand on your feet and wave your hands
Testify that I know he can
Remember these words always my friends
God spared our lives again
(cause we should have been)
dead and gone sleeping in my grave
God told death get back and behave
Dead and gone but my life goes on,
God kept me.
