  • Never would have made it
    Never could have made it, without You
    I would have lost it all
    But now I see how You were there for me

    And I can say
    Never would have made it
    Never could have made it without You

    I would have lost it all
    But now I see how You were there for me and I can say

    I'm stronger, I'm wiser
    I'm better, much better
    When I look back over all You brought me through
    I can see that You were the one I held on to

    And I never, never would have made it
    Oh I never could have made it, never could have made it without You
    Oh I would have lost it all
    Oh but now I see how You were there for me

    I never, never would have made it
    No, I never, never could have made it without You
    I would have lost my mind a long time ago
    If it had not been for You

    I am stronger, I am stronger
    I am wiser, now I'm better
    So much better

    I made it through my storm
    And my test because You were there
    To carry me through my mess

    I am stronger, I am stronger
    I am wiser, I am wiser
    I am better, I am better
    Anybody better, I am better

    I can stand here and tell You
    I made it
    Anybody out there that You made it

    I am stronger, I am stronger
    I am wiser, I am wiser
    I am better, I am better
    Much better, I am better

    I made it, I made it
    I made it, I made it
    I made it, I made it
    I made it, I made it

    Never would have made it, never would have made it
    Never could have made it, never could have made it without You

    I would have lost my mind
    I would have gave up
    But You were right there
    You were right there

    I never, never would have made it
    Oh I never, never could have made it without You

    Somebody just need to testify to someone next to 'em
    Tell 'em I am stronger
    I am wiser
    I am better, much better

    When I look back over what He brought me through
    I realize I made it because I had You to hold on to
    Now I am stronger
    Now I am wiser
    I am better, so much better
    I made it

    Is there anybody in this house other than me that can
    Declare that you made it?

    Tell your neighbor
    Never would have made it, never would have made it
    Tell 'em never could have made it, never could have made it without You

    I wish I had some help here
    I wish I had just two or three people
    That would just declare it

    Never would have made it, never would have made it
    Never could have made it, never could have made it without You

    I just, I just love to encourage myself
    Sometimes I just look in the mirror and say
    I am stronger
    I am wiser
    I am better, so much better
    When I look back over what He brought me through
    I realize I made it because I had You to hold on to

    But I never would have made it
    I never could have made it without You
    Yeah yeah yeah
    Oh I, good God almighty
    Never would have made it, never would have made it
    Never could have made it, never could have made it without You

    Sing it one more time
    All I need is it one more time
    Everybody sing with me
    Never would have made it
    Never could have made it without You Writer/s: Marvin Sapp, Matthew Richard Brownie

  • Donna from Rutherford, NjI've never really listened to gospel but I caught the video on BET and I fell in love with this song. It's a great tribute to a loved one and so heartfelt.
