“We are so excited for the release of ‘He Keeps Right On Blessing Me,’” enthuses The Rogers Family about their third single for Horizon Records. “When we heard it for the first time, we knew immediately that we needed to record it. It’s a toe-tapping, hand-clapping song that will get stuck in your head… in a good way! We pray that as you listen you will be reminded of the many blessings of God in your life.”
The “toe-tapping” description is inarguable, as “He Keeps Right On Blessing Me” grabs the listener’s ear from its first notes, as mom Kim Shields’ piano is overtaken by a jaunty brass section that gives way in turn to Samuel Shields’ confidently soulful delivery of the opening verse:
When I wake up in the morning
And I don’t know what awaits
Cause every new day seems to have a trial
There’s one thing I am sure of
With every step I take
My Jesus will be there for every mile
As producer Roger Talley’s arrangement smoothly moves through a series of key changes, sisters Rebekah and Hannah Shields take turns in offering the second and third verses, punctuated by the Adina Bowman-penned chorus and its irresistible melody:
And He keeps right on blessing me
Keeps right on keeping me
Oh, the Lord has been so good to me
He protects me from the enemy
He’s providing all I need
My Jesus keeps right on blessing me
From start to finish, the Rogers Family’s “He Keeps Right On Blessing Me” makes it easy to understand why the group has been so enthusiastically embraced by their Southern Gospel peers and fans of the music.
