Lyrics
Chorus:
And yet I'm still saved
Not by my own power, not by my strength
And yet I'm still saved, saved, saved.
And I'm going on
Verse:
I been through some valleys,
I have been oh so very low
I have had some rough times,
Some people has really hurt me so.
Jesus was friend, He was consistent in every way,
When Satan tried to kill me
He came and He put him back in his place
He gave me the power to cahnge everything in my life
And even Satan still exists,
He will never have control, control of my soul
(2x)
Chorus
Vamp:
Going On (3x)
I'm still Saved

Meaning & Inspiration
And Yet I’m Still Saved is a testimony of salvation sustained through hardship. The chorus rejects self-reliance by declaring that rescue does not come through personal power or strength. The verse names valleys, painful treatment, and spiritual opposition, yet presents Jesus as the consistent friend who preserves the soul. Its repeated movement toward “going on” gives the song the character of both confession and victory: suffering has been real, but it has not overturned the saving work attributed to Christ.
The central declaration closely reflects Ephesians 2:8-9, where salvation is described as God’s gift rather than the result of human works. Its confidence amid opposition may also be read beside Romans 8:37-39, which says that neither hardship nor spiritual powers can separate believers from the love of God in Christ. The song therefore treats perseverance as an outcome of grace, not proof of independent strength, and turns a personal account of low places into praise for Christ’s keeping power.
