You Can Make It

And I look back over my life
And I see what the Lord has done for me
I realize, I could've been dead, or in jail
He could've killed me in the midst of my sins
He didn't see fair
To let none of those things be
And still, He kept on, kept on keeping me

And I realize, there have been many
Just like me, that did not make it
But oh, I'm glad y'all, I'm one that did
There have been many
Hey, somebody didn't make it y'all
But I'm glad tonight, I'm one that did

Could've been dead, a long time ago
You should've turned Your face from me, Lord
But You heard me close
You kept the promise that You made to me
Even when I didn't understand
You told me all I had to do, was taking

Wanna take time and tell You Lord
Thank you, for always being there for me
Even when friends and family
Sometimes felt like they gave up on me

See, there have been many, yeah
Hey, somebody didn't make it
Take a look at me, I'm one that did

There have been many
Hey, somebody didn't make it y'all
Oh, I'm glad y'all, I'm one that did

(There's been many)
That did not make it (that did not make it)
Take a real, good look at me (I'm glad)
'Cause I'm one that did (I'm one that did)

I never would've made it if it weren't for Jesus
(There's been many)
I never could've took it if it weren't for Jesus
(They did not make it)
I can live ahead and say, I'm one (I'm glad)
I'm one, I'm one that did (I'm that did)

And I look back over my life (there's been many)
And see all the ways that He made for me (that did not make it)
See all the things that He done for me
I can say (I'm glad)
I know I'm one that did (I'm one that did)

'Cause I should've been dead (there's been many)
Sleeping in my grave, y'all (that did not make it)
Hey, look at Jesus, look at Jesus (I'm glad)
He allowed me to be here another day (I'm one that did)
Come to let you know that you can make it (you can make it)
All you gotta do is have Jesus (with Jesus)
You can make it (you can make it)
Just hold on to the Lord (with the Lord)

Never give up (you can make it)
Never lose your faith (with Jesus)
Keep on going (you can make it)
And I promise you can make it (with the Lord)
If you just hold on (you can make it)
If you just be strong, hey-yeah
