LORD, KEEP ME OUT IN THE OPEN 🙏 | Worship Songs For Protection | Prayer Before I Walk Into It

🙏 LORD, KEEP ME OUT IN THE OPEN — WORSHIP SONGS FOR PROTECTION Being kept is not the same as being spared. This album does not ask to be lifted out of the week. It asks for a hand that does not let go in the middle of it. These are quiet worship songs about protection, for the hour before you walk into something. One voice, a piano in a large room, and long spoken prayers between the songs. No crowd, no choir, no drums. It was made to be played low on the drive in, in a waiting room, at a desk, or in a kitchen at the end of a long day. Nothing here promises that praying will keep the hard thing from happening. That is not a promise anyone can make for you. What is here is the older and steadier one: that you will not be let go of, and that you will not be in it alone. One of these songs is for the day it came anyway — the call that came, the result that was not good, the prayer that was prayed and did not turn out. That day is counted here the same way as the ones that went well. 🙏 Prayer before a hard conversation or appointment 🚗 The drive in, and the drive home 🌙 The night when it will not settle and sleep will not come 📖 Scripture reading, journaling and quiet time 💼 Work, study, and long ordinary afternoons 🕯️ Sitting with someone who is waiting for news TRACKLIST 00:00 Keep Me Out In The Open 05:56 Steady Where I Stand 11:13 The Day It Came Anyway 16:34 Someone Prayed For Me First 21:41 Afraid And Still Standing 27:03 You Said Be Strong 32:06 You Are Enough Out Here 37:22 Back Through My Own Door 42:20 Nothing Is Settled Yet 47:22 Straight Through The Water 52:43 Not Taken Out Of It 57:09 What I Never Saw Coming 1:02:10 When The Mountains Move 1:07:12 Bless Me And Keep Me 1:12:18 Whether Or Not You Do 1:17:34 Going Out And Coming In 1:22:40 The Watch Never Changes 1:27:56 Keep Me Out In The Open (Reprise) SCRIPTURE IN THIS ALBUM I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. — John 17:15 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee. — Isaiah 43:2 Psalm 121:3-8 · Psalm 139:5 · Psalm 16:8 · Psalm 27:1-3 · Psalm 56:3 · Psalm 138:7 Daniel 3:17-18 · Joshua 1:9 · Deuteronomy 31:6 · Isaiah 41:10-13 · 2 Corinthians 12:9 · Numbers 6:24-26 A PRAYER FOR TODAY Heavenly Father, keep me out in the open. I am not asking to be taken out of my own life, and I am not asking for the road to be cleared before I walk it. I am asking to be kept in the middle of it, with your hand on me where I can feel it. Keep my going out and my coming in. Go ahead of me into the rooms I am dreading. Hold the hand I actually have, the one that shakes. And when I am afraid, let me be afraid and still standing. And if it comes anyway — if the answer is the one I did not want — stay the way you have stayed before, without explaining yourself, near enough to be leaned on. Whether or not you do it the way I am asking, I am still yours. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🎵 All songs and artwork in this video are original works by Grace & Grounds, created with the help of AI tools and lovingly crafted for your quiet time.
