Surrender - I Made It

I Made It
(S. Reed, P. Smith, G. Chambers)

Verse
Been through my share of troubles
And I’ve cried so many tears
I’ve been down, down and out, but somehow it got better
Some folks I know who love me, now in heaven in thin air
Telling me don’t give up, I cannot lose my focus

Prechorus
I hear them saying, there’s so much more that’s left in you
I hear them praying, there’s so much more that you can do
So quit complaining, quit wasting time complaining
‘Cause the blessings are raining, in my head I hear them saying

Chorus
Could have dead and gone, but you made it
Could have dead and gone, yeah you made it
Could have dead and gone, but you made it
You made it, you made it, yeah you made it
Could have dead and gone, but I made it
Could have dead and gone, yeah you made it
Could have dead and gone, I made it,
I’m so glad I made it

Verse
The road, no it ain’t easy, there are problems everywhere
It gets hard but you’ve got angels on your shoulders
The point is you’re still breathing ‘though the world can be unfair
Keep the faith there’s a light at the end of the tunnel

Prechorus
I hear them saying, there’s so much more that’s left in you
I hear them praying, there’s so much more that you can do
So quit complaining, quit wasting time complaining
‘Cause the blessings are raining, in my head I hear them saying

Chorus
Could have dead and gone, but you made it
Could have dead and gone, yeah you made it
Could have dead and gone, but you made it
You made it, you made it, yeah you made it
Could have dead and gone, but I made it
Could have dead and gone, yeah made it
Could have dead and gone, I made it,
I’m so glad I made it

Bridge
You gotta live life with no regrets
If you learn from it, then it’s okay
You won’t be able to please everyone
But you never give up on your faith

Chorus
Could have dead and gone, but you made it
Could have dead and gone, yeah you made it
Could have dead and gone, but you made it
You made it, you made it, yeah you made it
Could have dead and gone, but I made it
Could have dead and gone, yeah you made it
Could have dead and gone, I made it,
I’m so glad I made it
