Marvin Sapp's song 'You Kept Me' is a gospel worship track expressing gratitude for God's protection and provision through life's dangers. The lyrics thank God for keeping the singer safe, covering and sheltering him under His wings. Sapp acknowledges that without God's love, he would be lost, and he refuses to take credit for his own survival. The song emphasizes God's faithfulness as a keeper who never leaves. It includes a declaration of thanks for family, friends, and mental well-being, and celebrates God's saving power even when situations seemed hopeless. The repeated refrain 'Thank you, Lord, you kept me' underscores a theme of sustained divine care.

You Kept Me
Through dangers seen and unseen
Covered me
Protected me
Provided all I need
You never left me
Carried me through safely
Sheltered me under your wings
No place I'd rather be
I can act like I made it on my own
Without your love I
Would be dead and gone
You Kept Me
Through dangers seen and unseen
Covered and protected me
Provided all I need
You never left me
Carried me through safely
Sheltered me under your wings
No place I'd rather be
I can't act like I made it on my own
Without your love I
Would be dead and gone
Now unto him who is able
To keep me
You are the keeper
You keep on keeping me
Now unto him who is able
To keep me
You are the keeper
You keep on keeping me
Thank you, Lord, you kept me
Thank you, Lord, you kept me
Thank you, Lord, you kept me
Thank you, Lord, you kept me
Thank you, Lord, you kept me
Thank you, Lord, you kept me
You kept my family
You kept my friends
You kept my mind
You saved me, again
Though it was over
Thought it was the end
Reached out your hand
Saved me again
Thank you, Lord, you kept me
Thank you, Lord, you kept me
Thank you, Lord, you kept me
Thank you, Lord, you kept me
Thank you, Lord, you kept me
Thank you, Lord, you kept me
You never left me
Carried me through safely
Sheltered me under your wings
No place I'd rather be
You Kept Me
