♫ Verse 1:
G                  C                     G      C
  A big, black book in her small fragile hands
G                   C                        G
  The words she read I was too young to understand.
C G            C                             D
   Between the "thee"s and "thou"s and the "verily"s
             G                         C            C D
I watched my Grandma live the truth in front of me.
G                  C                    G      C
 A little boy wakes from a dream in the night.
G                  C                         G
 Runs down the hall to where she left on the light.
C G      C                       D
   But I stopped when I saw her down on her knees,
G                     C
where she prayed every night for me.
     D
In a whisper, I heard:

♫ Chorus:
G      C              G
Jesus, Keeper of this life,
C           Em         Am         D
 You are my Refuge, my Savior, my Guide.
      G         C            Em
Watch over this little one tonight
    C               G              Am           D
And guard his every footstep as he travels this life.
Em            D      G                C    G
In some quiet moment draw him to Your side
     Am
That he may come to know You, Jesus,
C                      G
 As the Keeper of this life.

♫ Verse 2:
G            C                              G     C
 Twenty years have come and gone since that time.
          G                          C                   G
And I can still see my Grandma's face in my little boy's eyes.
C G         C                         D
   You will find me tonight somewhere down on my knees
     G                             C
As I whisper a prayer that was once prayed for me.
D
 You'll hear me say:

♫ Chorus:
G      C              G
Jesus, Keeper of this life,
C           Em         Am         D
 You are my Refuge, my Savior, my Guide.
      G          C             Em
Watch over these little ones tonight
    C                 G                Am          D
And guard their every footstep as they travel this life
Em            D      G                 C    G
In some quiet moment draw them to Your side
     Am               Em             C
That they may come to know You, Jesus, as the Keeper.   Oh-oh

♫ Chorus:
G      C              G
Jesus, Keeper of this life,
C           Em         Am         D
 You are my Refuge, my Savior, my Guide.
      G        C             Em
Watch over the little ones tonight
    C                 G                Am          D
And guard their every footstep as they travel this life.
Em            D      G                 C    G
In some quiet moment draw them to Your side
     Am                               C   G
That they may come to know You, Jesus,
   Am                       C
As I have come to know You, Jesus.
                 G           Am                      G
Let them come to know You, Jesus, the Keeper of this life.
