Keep Me God |
| It was a long time ago, I was a girl 'bout 12 years old |
| On my back staring up into the dark summer sky |
| When I said, «God, tomorrow I can’t see |
| But I’ll stick close to you if you’ll stick close to me!» |
| And that night I prayed «Keep me God! |
| Keep me God» |
| Now, I don’t know just where God lives |
| Ain’t all that sure just exactly who God is |
| I don’t know if there’s a church |
| That deserves to take God’s name |
| I just know that when I look around here I see |
| The hand of someone or something |
| That is bigger than me |
| And I call that God |
| And then I pray «Just, keep me God» |
| I’m in a plane up in the sky |
| A storm surrounds us as we fly |
| And below, the big black ocean is all that I can see |
| When all at once I realize: Don’t really matter if I live or even if I die |
| Just so long as you keep me God |
| Now, when my days draw to an end |
| And I’ve said goodbye to my family and friends |
| When the tide that turns my life is standing still |
| As I turn my final bend, I betcha I’m gonna be asking even then |
| Keep me God, keep me God, keep me God |
| Keep me God, keep me God, keep me God |
