What We're Keeping

This song explores a powerful biblical truth: God owns it all, and we are simply stewards of what He has entrusted to us. Told through the eyes of a successful man who once believed he had built everything through his own hard work, the story follows his journey from self-reliance to humility as he begins to recognize God's hand in every opportunity, blessing, and success he experienced along the way. Inspired by scriptures such as Psalm 24:1, Psalm 50:10-12, Deuteronomy 8:17-18, and Matthew 25:40, the song challenges listeners to move beyond the common question, "How much am I giving?" and instead wrestle with a deeper one: "How much am I keeping?" As the narrator encounters the needs of struggling families, veterans, and people battling addiction, he realizes that true legacy is not measured by wealth accumulated but by lives impacted. The song calls believers to embrace stewardship over ownership, compassion over comfort, and eternal significance over temporary success. At its heart, What We’re Keeping is a testimony, a confession, and an invitation for every listener to consider whether God's blessings are stopping with them, or flowing through them to help others. Because in the end, the question isn't what we kept. It's who we helped with what God entrusted to us. Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it Psalm 50:10-12 For every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine. If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it. Deuteronomy 8:17-18 "You may say to yourself, 'My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.' But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth." Matthew 25:40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
