I done made it through the storm and the rain
So much pressure, heartache, so much pain
I've been broken into pieces, maybe more
Some nights I made my bed right on the floor
The emeny really tried to take me out
Hit me with his best shot and knocked me down
But I'm still standing after all I've been through
I survived it all and this because of you

Woah, oh oh, I made it
I made it, yeah
I made it (Yes I did)
I made it (Still standing)
I made it (Lemme hear the horns, let's go)

I remember all those days I walked in shame
Only recognized for all of my mistakes
The ones I thought would stay walked right out the door
Swear I thought my heart could take no more
But you're the only one that really loved me
When everybody else just didn't care
You're the only one that never left me

(Here we go)
Oh, oh oh, I made it
I made it, yeah
I made it (Good God Almighty)
I made it (Still standing)
I made it, I made it
I made it, I made it
I made it

Everybody say oh
Oh, oh oh

Everybody say oh
Oh, oh oh

Everybody say oh
Oh, oh oh

Everybody say oh
Oh, oh oh

I just wanna say 
(Thank you Lord)
I gotta say thank you, I gotta say thank you Lord
(Thank you Lord) 
Thank you, thank you Lord
(Thank you Lord) 
I would have never, never, never, never made it without you
(Thank you Lord) 
I just wanna say 
(Thank you Lord)
Thank you Lord, for never leaving me
(Thank you Lord)
Thank you Lord, for keeping me Lord Jesus (Thank you Lord)
I made it, I made it, I made it I made it (Thank you Lord)

So grateful Jesus
Thank you
I said thank you

Thank you Lord Jesus
