Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers - I Almost Let Go (Lyric Video)

Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers' song I Almost Let Go is a modern gospel testimony about reaching the edge of despair, then being held up by God's mercy.

I Almost Let Go song speaks directly to emotional exhaustion, about feeling bound by problems, weighed down by depression, and close to giving up before turning into a powerful declaration of survival: "God kept me."

Musically it has the force of a church altar call moment by slow-building, emotional intensity and communal interaction, moving from private pain into a choir backed affirmation of grace.

The recording originally appeared on Carr's 2000 live album Awesome Wonder, with lead vocals handled by Sherron Bennett and Tisa Willis, and I Almost Let Go writing by Kurt Carr.

Kurt Carr is also known for popular gospel songs such as For Every Mountain, In the Sanctuary and God Blocked It, with his work often describing as modern day hymns.

Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers I Almost Let Go Lyrics:

This song says God's mercy kept me
So I wouldn't let go
Anybody in here ever felt like giving up
Just throwing in the towel, just giving up
I'm not gonna ask you to hunch anybody but just look at them
That person you're looking at is here tonight only because of god's mercy and his grace
Somebody oughta just tell God, thank you for your mercy
And your grace that kept me

I almost let go
I felt like I just couldn't take life anymore
My problems had me bound
Depression weighed me down
But God held me close
So I wouldn't let go

God's mercy kept me (Can I get a witness in here)
So I wouldn't let go
I almost gave up
I was right at the edge of a breakthrough
But couldn't see it
The devil really had me
But Jesus came and grab me
And He held me close, so I wouldn't let go

(God's mercy kept me) God's mercy kept me so I wouldn't let go
(Can I get a witness in here that knows about God's grace)
So I'm here today, so I'm here today because God kept me
I'm alive today (only because of his grace) only because of His grace

Oh, He kept me, God kept me, He kept me
So I wouldn't let go
Come on, hold somebody next to you and tell them
I was really down, I was really down
The devil really had me
But God's mercy kept me
I'm here tonight because of God's mercy
Come on now just thank him, just thank him

I almost let go
I felt like I just couldn't take life anymore
My problems had me bound
Depression weighed me down
But God held me close
So I wouldn't let go
God's mercy kept me
So I wouldn't let go

So I'm here today because God kept me
I'm alive today only because of His grace
Oh, He kept me, God kept me
He kept me, God kept me
He kept me, God kept me

God kept me, yes He did
He kept me, God kept me
Oh my lord, yeah
You, you, you don't know what I've been through
And how I went through it
Depression had me so far down
That I didn't know who I was, yeah
But oh to be kept by Jesus
That's the song my momma taught me

Yeah, yeah, yeah
He kept me, yes, he did
He kept me
Lord kept me
God, God, God, God, God
He kept me, yes, he did
