Behind the song
Keep Me Standing is a worship prayer of dependence on Christ. It comes from the posture of someone who knows that strength, patience and endurance cannot be sustained by human resolve alone. The song asks Jesus to keep the heart close, keep the feet steady and keep faith alive when the journey feels long. It is not just a request for survival, but for holiness — to keep praying, keep waiting, keep trusting and keep obeying until the journey is complete. At its heart, the song is about perseverance by grace. It remembers that God has been faithful before, and therefore He can be trusted to sustain His children again through every fire, every night and every season of testing.
Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh Lord…
Keep me standing
Keep me close to You
[Verse 1]
Jesus, You are my strength
The longing of my heart
I lift my soul in faith
To the One who knows my path
Teach me how to wait
Teach me how to hear
Until my will is lost in Yours
And Your voice becomes so clear
[Pre-Chorus]
Make my heart new
Make my spirit true
Whatever You desire
Lord, that is what I choose
[Chorus]
Keep me standing
When the road is long
Keep me trusting
When I don’t feel strong
Through the fire
Through the night
Be my courage
Be my light
I will not turn away
I will not lose my song
You have always been faithful
So Lord, keep me standing
[Verse 2]
Give me a humble heart
That does not seek its own
A heart that walks with You
Even when I walk alone
When temptation calls my name
Let Your Spirit lead me through
Give me patience for the cross
And the strength to follow You
[Pre-Chorus]
Make my heart new
Make my spirit true
Whatever You desire
Lord, that is what I choose
[Chorus]
Keep me standing
When the road is long
Keep me trusting
When I don’t feel strong
Through the fire
Through the night
Be my courage
Be my light
I will not turn away
I will not lose my song
You have always been faithful
So Lord, keep me standing
[Verse 3]
Give me eyes that see
When the enemy draws near
Give me holy wisdom
Give me reverent fear
Let me watch and let me pray
Let Your Word remain my guard
Give me a spirit that will stand
With Your truth inside my heart
[Bridge]
When I am weary
You will sustain me
When I am shaken
You will not fail me
When I am empty
You will restore me
When I am surrounded
You go before me
You are faithful
You are faithful
Yesterday, today
Forever the same
You are faithful
You are faithful
So I will praise Your name
[Build]
Keep me standing
Keep me praying
Keep me waiting
Keep me faithful
Keep me standing
Keep me praying
Keep me waiting
Keep me faithful
[Final Chorus]
Keep me standing
When the road is long
Keep me trusting
When I don’t feel strong
Through the fire
Through the night
Be my courage
Be my light
I will not turn away
I will not lose my song
You have always been faithful
So Lord, keep me standing
[Outro]
Until I see Your face
Until my journey’s done
Keep my heart beside You
Keep my eyes upon the Son
You have always been faithful
You will always be
So Lord, keep me standing
Keep me close to Thee
Amen…
Amen…
