Makin’ It

You and I and babies make six

People are wonderin’ how we’re stayin’ alive but we’re makin’ it

We’re followin’ Jesus and we’re makin’ it

It may look to you like the bottom’s fallin’ thru but we’re makin’ it

We’re workin’ for a livin’ but we’re livin’ for the Lord

We’re walkin’ and we’re talkin’ for eternal reward and we’re makin’ it

We’re followin’ Jesus and we’re makin’ it

The road is long and narrow but His eye is on the sparrow, we’re makin’ it

Bill’s got nicer clothes, Sally got a Honda and a CD player that she’s quite fonda

But we’re makin’ it we’re followin’ Jesus and we’re makin’ it

We may not look too impressive to you but we’re makin’ it

(bridge)       From the early, early morning to the wee hours of the night

                   We’re trusting in our Savior to make everything all right

                   We pray when we’re in trouble, we thank Him for the fun

                   We’re gonna keep on prayin’ We’re gonna keep on prayin’

                   We’re gonna keep on prayin’ We’re gonna keep on prayin’

                   We’re gonna keep on prayin’ We’re gonna keep on prayin’

                   We’re gonna keep on prayin’ ‘til this earthly life is done, oh

We go to church on Sunday, singin’ hallelu

Your see us on the street we tell you “how de do, we are makin’ it”

We’re followin’ Jesus and we’re makin’ it

Thru the ups and thru the downs the ins and outs and all arounds we are makin’ it

The very first line of this song doesn’t rhyme but we’re makin’ it

We ain’t causin’ any whoopdidoo but we’re makin’ it

We’re Sandi and we’re Jerry sayin’ “God bless you, and we’re makin’ it”
