Slow tempo Contemporary Christian
It describes the love of Jesus and his sacrifice.
You are the keeper of my soul.
You'll be my strength when I grow old.
You always pick me up when I am sinking.
You carry me through the dark of night.
Filling me with a world of light.
Letting me know you're always near.
But when I think of how they treated you,
it goes beyond my understanding.
You gave your all and still forgave them all.
You were kind. You were loving,
even on the cross.
So many times I've gone astray,
only to find I've lost my way,
but like a good shepherd you are there to guide me.
And though I don't deserve your love,
you smile at me from up above,
letting me know you're always near.
And when my time on earth is over,
you'll be there to take me home.
You gave your all only to save my soul.
You were kind, you were loving
even on the cross
When my time on earth is over,
you'll be there to take me home.
You gave your all only to save us all.
You were kind, you were loving
even on the cross.
