Tye Tribbett's song "Keep Me" is a heartfelt plea for God's sustaining grace in a troubled world. The lyrics acknowledge the difficulty of living righteously amid widespread wrongdoing and personal struggles, especially in what the singer calls the last days. He confesses his love for the Lord and his soul's longing for God, while honestly admitting the fight to hold on to faith. The repeated chorus, "Lord I need you to keep me," expresses total dependence on God's power to preserve and strengthen him. The song resonates with believers who feel the pressure of the world and need divine help to persevere.

[Verse 1]
In such a wrong, such a wrong world
I don't see how, how we can ever do right (as believers)
So much trouble, on every side, seems so easy, so easy, to give up the fight
[Chorus:]
Lord I need you to keep me [Repeat 2X]
Keep me [Repeat 4X]
[Verse 2]
In this heart of mine, I love the Lord (yes I do)
And my soul, it longs for you (yes it do, yes it do)
We're living, we're living in the last days
And I struggle, I struggle to hold on to my faith
[Chorus:]
Lord I need you to keep me [Repeat 4x]
Keep me [Repeat Till End]
