I Made It This Far
Written by Carl Hicks Jr/@carlhicksjr

[Intro]
[Low Tenor]
I made it this far
Yes, I did

[Choir]
You made it this far
By the help of the Lord

[Verse 1]
[Low Tenor]
Had some days
I had no clue
Still got up
Still made it through
Had to slow down
Had to regroup
But the Lord kept pulling me
Right on through

[Choir]
He pulled you through
He pulled you through

[Chorus]
[Lead]
I made it this far
I made it this far
Not by luck
Not by chance
The Lord had His hand
On my circumstance

[Choir]
His hand was on you
His hand was on you

[Lead]
I made it this far
Yes, I did

[Preacher]
Somebody tell the truth: you should have folded, but grace kept your feet moving!

[Verse 2]
[Low Tenor]
Had some setbacks
Had some delays
Had to switch plans
Had to change ways
But every time
I thought I was done
God gave me strength
For another run

[Choir]
Another run
Another run

[Chorus]
[Lead]
I made it this far
I made it this far
Had some rough spots
Had some hard days
But I am still here
And I still got praise

[Choir]
Still here
Still praising

[Breakdown]
[Lead]
Through the mess

[Choir]
I made it

[Lead]
Through the stress

[Choir]
I made it

[Lead]
Through the switch-up

[Choir]
I made it

[Lead]
Through the letdown

[Choir]
I made it

[Preacher]
When the answer was no—

[Choir]
I made it!

[Lead]
Through the wait

[Choir]
I made it

[Lead]
Look at me

[Choir]
I made it

[Lead]
By His grace

[Choir]
I made it

[Vamp]
[Lead]
This far
This far

[Choir]
He brought me this far

[Lead]
This far
This far

[Choir]
And I am not done
Not done

[Preacher]
Now take it higher!

[Full Choir]
Not done, not done, not done!

[Major Lift]
[Lead]
I made it this far
And the same hand that held me
Is the hand that will lead me

[Choir]
Lead me on
Lead me on

[Lead]
I made it this far
And I am walking in praise
For the rest of my days

[Full Choir]
Made it this far!
Made it this far!

[Scripture Outro — A Cappella]
[Preacher]
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped.

[Choir]
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped.

[Preacher]
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song I will praise Him.

[Choir]
With my song I will praise Him.

[All]
Amen.
