[Verse 1]
I've been looking back
At the places I've been
And I don't even know how
I made it through them
[Chorus]
God is faithful
Hmm, yeah
Oh
[Verse 2]
There were days I was tired
Didn't have the strength to pray
I was losing my focus
Drifting further away
Made some choices I regret
Tried to fix it on my own
But even in my distance
You never let me go
[Chorus]
I should've been lost in it
Should've stayed broken too long
But your mercy found me
Right where I went wrong
You kept me anyway
When I should've lost my way
When I didn't have the words
You still heard me pray
You stayed right there
Through every mistake
I'm still standing here
Only by your grace
[Verse 3]
Now I see it clearer
All the times you stepped in
Closed doors that would've hurt me
Opened ones I needed then
Every breath I'm breathing
Every step I take
Is proof of your goodness
I don't deserve this grace
[Chorus]
You never walked away
Even when I did
You covered every part of me
I tried to hide and fix
Hey, yeah
You kept me anyway
When I should've lost my way
When I didn't have the words
You still heard me pray
You stayed right there
Through every mistake
I'm still standing here
Only by your grace
[Bridge]
Yes, I'm still here
I'm still standing
That's your hand, not my planning
Every door, every blessing
Came from you
I'm confessing
I won't take it for granted
I see your hand in everything
All the glory belongs to you
For every breath I breathe
[Outro]
You kept me
You kept me
You kept me
Even when I didn't see
You kept me
You kept me
You kept me
Your grace covered me
You kept me
You kept me anyway
When I should've lost my way
When I didn't have the words
You still heard me pray
You stayed right there
Through every mistake
I'm still standing here
Only by your grace
I'm still here
I'm still standing
Not because I was strong
But because you never left me
You kept me all along
You Kept Me Anyway (Grace on My Life)

The bridge acknowledges that every blessing and door opened came from God, giving Him all glory. The song is a personal testimony of gratitude, recognizing that standing today is not by one's own strength but because God never let go.
