Marvin Sapp-The Singing Preacher
Marvin Sapp's,"Never Would Have Made It", is the first single from the "Thirsty" CD and it is taking the world by storm! It is topping Gospel music charts and even secular charts. The song resonates with everyone because of its simplicity and honesty. How could any of us make it without God's love and mercy?
Like all great gospel songs, "Never Would Have Made It", comes from a place of deep sorrow and pain. The beloved song was written after the death of Marvin Sapp's father, Henry Lewis Sapp, Jr. Pastor Sapp was responsible for handling his father's funeral and burial. "Never Would Have Made It" was created by divine inspiration the Sunday after his father's burial right in the pulpit of his church.
"The Lord said to me, 'Marvin, there's something you need to understand. Although your father isn't with you physically, I will never leave you nor will I forsake you. I will be with you always even until the end of the earth'. Then I walked into the pulpit with my Bible. When God began to assure me that He was there for me, I stood up. I grabbed the microphone and started singing, 'Never Would Have Made It'.
Pastor Sapp has been singing since the age of four, and has shared the stage with many gospel artists. He describes himself as "not a singer that happens to preach, but a preacher called by God who is gifted to sing".
"Never Would Have Made It" is destined to become a permanent part of Gospel music history because its message is one that we all can relate to. We have all had a "never would have made it" moment at one time or another in our lives.

Marvin Sapp-Never Would Have Made It-Lyrics
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 I now how 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 thru.
I can see that you were the one that I held on to
And I never
Chorus Never would have made it
Oh I never could have made it
Chorus 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
Chorus - Never would have made it
No, I never
Chorus - 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
Chorus - I am stronger
I am wiser
Chorus - I am wiser
Now I am better
Chorus - I am better
So much better
Chorus - I am better
I made it thru my storm and my test because you were there to carry me thru my mess
I am stronger
Chorus - I am stronger
I am wiser
Chorus - I am wiser
I am better
Chorus - I am better
Anybody better
Chorus - I am better
I can stand here and tell you, I made it. Anybody out there that you made it
I am stronger
Chorus - I am stronger
I am wiser
Chorus - I am wiser
I am better
Chorus - I am better
Much better
Chorus - 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
And I never would have made it
Chorus Never would have made it
Never could have made it
Chorus 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
Chorus Never would have made it
Oh I never
Chorus - I never could have made it without you.
Someone need to testify next to them and tell them I am stronger, I am wiser, I am better, much better. When I look back over what he brought me thru. I realize that 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. Never could have made it. Never could have made it without you. Never would have made it. Never would have made it. Never could have made it. Never could have made it without you.

What a testiment!God never ceases to amaze me through his Spirit,might,and power.This song as well as the artist,is nothing less than a miraculus inspiration that makes the spirit of God that's in me soar to indescribale heights into the presence of God.I'm truly grateful god has saw fit to bring this brother through it all and then some.my God, the lord just spoke and said this is just the beginning of the awsome ways and tools he's going to use to bring man to back to head of everything as he devinely planned from the beginning of time. espeacially,of his household and again man will truly be the head as God had ordained and anointed him to be.
for a man of God such as Marvin to be a part of this revelation in my lifetime, is itself to me a blessing.But then he stand among the best of the bestconcerning anointed men of gosple;Donnie,Hezekiah,Fred,Kirk,and the granddaddy of themm all The deceased Rev.James Cleavland.I pray many Blessing on this brother's life.God bless him.
