These are the songs of a distinctly relational and prolific songwriter. “My father is a pastor, so my whole family has been shaped by the church,” says Kerrie. “From a young age, my parents always taught me to reach out to the broken and to those who need hope.” With her first performance at the age of 5, Kerrie grew up singing in church, playing piano and leading worship. She wrote her first songs in high school. The 10 songs on Kerrie Roberts reflect the redemptive seeds planted during those years and into her young adulthood.
Thematically, the album explores a thoughtful side of faith, hope and love—the acknowledgment that an authentic life of faith isn’t void of suffering, the purpose amidst pain, the promise that a breakthrough is coming, and the motivating power of God’s love. Says Kerrie, “I want every song to leave people with a sense of purpose—a call to action, a realization of a truth, a promotion of hope and healing.”

Keep Breathing
Kerrie Roberts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know what you deserve
And you're wondering why your life is
Not what you thought it should be
When the night breaks, your heart still aches
How can you face the day?
Don't give in, you're not done yet
Sometimes all that you can do is
Keep breathing and believing
Don't let go, just hang on tighter a little longer
When you feel like you're dying, keep breathing
Don't give up, don't give in, don't let go
No, you're not done
Don't give up, don't give in, don't let go
When every moment is almost more than you can take
You've got to know some tomorrow will bring you a breakthrough
It's the reason why you got to get through today
When the night's gone you will be strong
Keep breathing, you'll make it
Don't give in, you're not done yet
Sometimes all that you can do is
Keep breathing and believing
Don't let go, just hang on tighter a little longer
With every breath you're bringing hope
You're letting go of all your doubts
When nothing is easy, you got to keep going
Even when you don't know how
You don't have to know how, no
Keep breathing, you'll make it
Don't give in, you're not done yet
Sometimes all that you can do is
Keep breathing and believing
And don't let go, just hang on tighter a little longer, whoa
Keep breathing, you'll make it
Don't give in, you're not done yet
Sometimes all that you can do is
Keep breathing and believing
And don't let go, just hang on tighter a little longer
Keep breathing, don't give up
No, you're not done
Don't give up, don't give in
Don't let go, no, you are not done yet
Don't give up, don't give in
Don't let go, no, you are not done
Don't give up, don't give in
Don't let go, no, you are not done
Don't give up, don't give in
Don't let go, no, you are not done

This song was played over and over back in 2012 when I went through some tough spiritual, emotional, and relationship stuff. I felt as if she was singing to me. God truly used this song as a stepping stone to transform my life from something dark to pure light. 💙💙

Kerrie Roberts came to our school and she sang this song. I got to meet her afterwards and I told her that this song really spoke to me because it spoke to me in a place that I was currently in - you know, I felt like dying. She ended up praying for me and giving me a hug. Kerrie is one of those artists that really believes in what she sings and that shows through in the love that she shows for her fans.

An inspirational song by an inspirational artist. Crossing over to mainstream yet retaining her spiritual integrity is the challenge for Kerrie. A wider audience deserves to hear her immense talent. She has the voice, the beauty and the musicality to be very big and engender huge influence.

You know Kerry, it is said that the meaning of life is to find one's gift and the purpose of life is to give it away. You have found your gift; what you do with it is for you to choose, but I know you will give it away for the good of what you believe.

We lost our son Mason to cancer on 6/12 of this year. He was 14. He lived for God and impacted a church with his life and with his journey's battle with cancer. This song and the whole album is giving strength to my husband and I. Mason was a world changer and as we "Keep Breathing" we hope to be world changers before our last breath is taken as well. Kerrie, thank you!~!! God is using you to heal our hearts. God Bless.
