[Verse 1]
[G]A[D][Csus2]
[G][D][G][Csus2]
[G]big,
black [Csus2]book in her small fragile hand[G]s[D][Csus2]
[G]The words she rea[Csus2]d I was too
young to under[G]stand.[Csus2]
[G]Between the "th[Csus2]ee"s and "thou"s
and [D]the "verily"s
I watched my [G]Grandma live the truth
in [Csus2]front of me.[D][G]
A little boy [Csus2]wakes from
a dream in [G]the night.[Csus2]
[G]Runs down the[Csus2] hall to where
she left on [G]the light.[Csus2][G]
But [Csus2]I stopped [C]when I saw [Csus2]her
[D]down on her knees,
[G]where she prayed every [Csus2]night for me.
In a [D]whisper, I [G]heard:

[Verse 2]
Jesus, [Csus2]Keeper of this li[G]fe,
[Csus2]You are my Refuge,[Em]
my Savior, [D]my Guide.
Watch [G]over this [Csus2]little on[Em]e tonight
And [Csus2]guard his every foot
[G]step as he [Am]travels [D]this life.
[Em]In some quiet mome[D]nt
[G]draw him to [Csus2]Your side[G]
That [Am]he may come to know You,
[Em]Je sus,
[Csus2]As the Keeper of[C] this life.[Csus2]
[G][Csus2][C][Csus2]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Twenty [Csus2]years have come and
gone since that [G]time.[Csus2]
And I can [G]still see my Grandma's [Csus2]face
in my little boy's [G]eyes.[Csus2][G]
You will [Csus2]find me t[C]onight some
[Csus2]where dow[D]n on my knees
As I [G]whisper a pray[D]er that
[G]was [Csus2]once prayed for me.
[D]You'll hear me say:

[Verse 4]
[G]Jesus, [Csus2]Keeper of this li[G]fe,
[Csus2]You are my Refuge,[Em]
my Savior, [Csus2]my Guide.[D]
Watch [G]over these [Csus2]little on[C]es tonight
[Em]And guar[Csus2]d their every footstep[G]
[Em]as they travel this [D]life
[Em]In some quiet mome[D]nt d[G]raw
them to [Csus2]Your side[C][G]
That [Am]they may come [Em]to know You, Jesus,
[C]as [Csus2]the Keepe[C]r. [Csus2]Oh- oh

[Verse 5]
[G]Jesus, [Am]Keepe[G]r [Csus2]of this li[G]fe,
[Csus2]You are my Re[C]fuge,[Em]
my Savior, [D]my Guide.
Watch [G]over the [Csus2]little ones toni[G]ght[Em]
And [C]guard their [Csus2]every foot
[G]step [Em]as they trave[Am]l this[D] life.
[Em]In some qu[D]iet moment d[G]raw
them to [C]Your side[G]
That [Am]they may come [D]to know
You, Je[Em]sus,
[Csus2]As I have[G] come [Am]to know You,
Je[C]sus.[Csus2]
Let them come [G]to know You, Je[Am]sus,
the Keeper of this [G]life.
