How I Got Over |
| How I got over |
| How did I make it over |
| You know my soul look back and wonder |
| How did I make it over |
| How I made it over |
| Going on over all these years |
| You know my soul look back and wonder |
| How did I make it over |
| Tell me how we got over Lord |
| Had a mighty hard time coming on over |
| You know my soul look back and wonder |
| How did we make it over |
| Tell me how we got over Lord |
| I’ve been falling and rising all these years |
| But you know my soul look back and wonder |
| How did I make it over |
| But, soon as I can see Jesus |
| The man that died for me Man that bled and suffered |
| And he hung on Calvary |
| And I want to thank him for how he brought me And I want to thank God for how he taught me Oh thank my God how he kept me |
| I’m gonna thank him 'cause he never left me Then I’m gonna thank God for 'ole time religion |
| And I’m gonna thank God for giving me a vision |
| One day, I’m gonna join the heavenly choir |
| I’m gonna sing and never get tired |
| And then I’m gonna sing somewhere 'round God alter |
| And I’m gonna shout all my trouble over |
| You know I’ve gotta thank God and thank him for being |
| So good to me, Lord yeah |
| How I made it over Lord |
| I had to cry in the midnight hour coming on over |
| But you know my soul look back and wonder |
| How did I make it over |
| Tell me how I made it over Lord God Lord |
| Falling and rising all these years |
| You know my soul look back and wonder |
| How did I make it over |
| I’m gonna wear a diamond garment |
| In that new Jerusalem |
| I’m gonna walk the streets of gold |
| It’s the homeland of the soul |
| I’m gonna view the host in white |
| They’ve been traveling day and night |
| Coming up from every nation |
| They’re on their way to the great Cognation |
| Coming from the north, south, east, and west |
| They’re on their way to a land of rest |
| And they’re gonna join the heavenly choir |
| You know we’re gonna sing and never get tired |
| And then we’re gonna sing somewhere 'round God alter |
| And then we’re gonna shout all our troubles over |
| You know we gotta thank God |
| Thank him for being so good to me You know I come to thank God this evening |
| I come to thank him this evening |
| You know all all night long God kept his angels watching over me Early this morning, early this morning |
| God told his angel God said, «touch her in my name» |
| God said, «touch her in my name» |
| I 'rose this morning, I 'rose this morning, I 'rose this morning |
| I feel like shouting, I feel like shouting, I feel like shouting |
| I feel like shouting, I feel like shouting, I feel like shouting |
| I feel like shouting, I just gotta thank God, I just gotta thank God |
| I just gotta thank God, I just gotta thank him |
| Thank God for being so good, God been good to me |
