Never Would Have Made It

"Never Would Have Made It" by: Eric L. Boddie Do you know when you will die, well, my exact time is never That is so me and my Homie can always be together I know, at some point, my body is supposed to become food But my Spirit will survive because that's my Dude When I needed a helping hand, He Was My Brother And if I am in need again, I won't have to look any further For any needed advice, He Has Been A Father To me And His Advice Is So Good That It Still Guides my destiny When I need someone to listen, He Is The Always The Truest Friend He Is The Only One Who Can Pick you up before your fall begins One day I was so broke that you couldn't even hear that change rattling sound But He Is So Good That He Left me money on the ground I can't remember stomach rumblings, the taste of hunger has rarely reached my mouth Because Mama introduced me to Him when I was born, He Lived In our house So if you are ever in need, and my hand is free I will make you understand that He Still Lives In Me Because my Soul comes with a price, well, He Already Paid It I'm just trying to tell you that without Christ, I never would have made it

Eric, first of all I must say that your title alone caught my attention.One of my favorite songs shares this title. However,when I began to read I was not disappointed. It was very inspirational. You testified of what Chist means to you. Great job. :-)Alexis

What a fantastic testimony and witness! I can honestly say without Christ I don't know where I'd be today. Wonderful message! Love, Kim
