"My Keeper" Låttext

So many times I felt someone was watching over me,
for there was too much
Unexplained.
Like the day we were swimming, I jumped in the swelling river;
the current quickly carried me away.
I could feel my heart racing as the grave of muddy water
would seal my doom and claim another life.
Like a hand from out of nowhere I was lifted toward the sunlight,
with just one breath I knew that I'd survive.

(Chorus)
Now I Know my keeper, I call him by his name.
He brought me through much danger and spared me so much pain.
He knew some day I'd see him, he was never far away.
Know I know my keeper, I talk to him each day.

(Bridge)
I faced another river this one oh so vast.
Millions there were helpless, drowning by their past.
Satan vowed that he would claim my sinful soul one day.
But all at once a nail scared hand reached down and I was saved.
