Never Would Have Made It

Marvin Sapp's 'Never Would Have Made It' is a powerful gospel song that speaks to the resilience and strength one can find through faith and perseverance. The lyrics are a testament to overcoming hardships and recognizing the support system, possibly a higher power or close individuals, that helped the singer through tough times. The repetition of 'Never would have made it, never could have made it, without you' emphasizes the importance of this support and the acknowledgment that the journey would have been impossible alone.

The song's verses detail the personal growth and transformation experienced by the singer. Phrases like 'I'm stronger, I'm wiser, I'm better, much better' indicate a journey of self-improvement and enlightenment that was facilitated by the trials faced. The singer reflects on the past 'storm and test' and realizes that it was the presence of a guiding force that carried them through their 'mess.' This guiding force could be interpreted as God, given Marvin Sapp's background in gospel music, or it could represent loved ones or an inner strength.

The song also serves as an anthem of encouragement for others facing their own challenges. By sharing his testimony, Marvin Sapp invites listeners to find hope and strength in their own lives. The call to 'testify to someone next to 'em' and the communal singing towards the end of the song suggest a collective experience of overcoming adversity, reinforcing the message that no one is alone in their struggles.
