I Made It This Far - Candi Staton

When I got up out of my bed this morning

I put my feet on the floor

I walked across the room to my dressing table

As I looked down at the floor

I can still see myself in the mirror

As I felt God’s grace and love

I lifted my hands and began to praise Him

I made it this far

Then I walked over to my window

I looked at the sun shining from the sky

I began to think about where He brought me from

And it brought tears to my eyes

You see He was right there, but I lost it all

Sometimes, I can still, I can still feel the pain

But He lifted my burden and took away the stain

He gave me strength to start all over again

That is why you see, I made it this far (made it this far)

I made it this far (I made it this far…)

I had mountains to move, hills to climb

Tears to dry from my weeping eyes

You see, I have had burdens to bear, Heartaches and pain

But you wrapped me up in Your love, every time I called Your name

I want to say thank you Jesus (thank you, thank you)

I made it this far (I made it this far), it hadn’t been easy

You see, I made it this far

How many can say, I made it this far

I made it this far (I made it this far…)

I had mountains to move, hills to climb

Tears to dry from my weeping eyes

I have had burdens to bear

I even had heartaches and pain

But you wrapped me up in Your love

Every time I called Your name

I just want to say thank (thank you)

Thank you, Jesus (thank you)

I made it this far (made it this far)
