"Oh, to Be Kept by Jesus" is a gospel song with the promise that God, through Christ Jesus, will keep us AGAINST ALL ODDS if we would trust Him and keep our minds stayed on Him, His Word, and His will. The author's story recounts many of the times that God kept her from despair regarding health issues of all family members and the homegoing of their two younger children and her mom, from harm during a carjacking, and other life incidents. She further recalls what could have happened but did not, what did happen but in victory, and how God gave her many of the desires of her heart, kept her sane, joyous, reverent, comforted, and in His grace and His mercy. She challenges the reader to revisit his journey with God, times that he missed God's presence, took it for granted, failed to give Him praise, honor, and glory, or failed to allow God to encourage him by walking behind him, in front of him, by his side, and often carrying him. The author's journey is meant to encourage the reader to WALK IN THAT SAME ASSURANCE, CLAIMING THE BLESSINGS INTENDED FOR HIM.
