Black Gospel Song By Marvin Sapp Topping The Charts
Like many great black gospel songs, "Never Would Have Made It", comes from a place of sorrow and deep 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 music 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 one of many black gospel songs that are now a permanent part of Gospel music history because it relates a simple, but universal message that everyone can relate to.
Marvin Sapp-Never Would Have Made It
"The song was birthed during a time of pain that I thought would be my breaking point, but everyone has had a "never would have made it" moment and that's why I think the song is receiving such a tremendous response."-Marvin Sapp
Marvin Sapp, Never could have made it.
This is a song of testimonial power because the power of God is channeled trough the man of God Marvin Sapp in song. It was God with him walking trough the fire that made him come out as a conquerer and than the song was written, God gave him the words of the song at the altar. So when you post something you want to say let it be a testimony for the world to show how great God is, amen. God bless you, Joshua.
Marvin Sapp Lyrics
Never Would Have Made It
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.

God never ceases to amaze me through his spirit,might and power,his ways are n ot our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts but my god he never ceases to amaze me.
The words speak for us all in this song it not only touches our hearts but it can speak for all our situations and circumstances yet through it all we could not make it without him.
I can testify about the lords goodness and his mercy and his graciousness there are times when my back was against a wall but as brother Marvin rightly said he got us through it all,he came through for us in the nick of time when we tried alll things prayed fasted seeked his face and still did not get a response it is not that he was listening butr he was working behind the scenes for you and me.
I had to move out of the home I grew up in and god said if I don't I will grieve and will remain unfullfilled and wither away,I moved out with $40.00TT in my wallet and had to move 7 times but god saw me through it all and still is 1 year later..
