Lyrics How I Got Over

How I got over

How did I make it over?

You know my soul looks back and wonder

How did I make it over?

How I make it over

Comin' 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 comin' on over

You know my soul look back and wonder

How did we make it over?

Tell me how we got over Lord

I been fallin' and risin' all these years

But you know my soul look back and wonder

How did I make it over?

Mmh mmh mmh

But soon as I can see Jesus

The man that died for me

The man that bled and suffered

And he hung on Calvary

And I wanna thank Him for how He brought me

And I wanna thank God for how He taught me

Oh thank my God how He kept me

I'm gonna thank him 'cos he never left me

And I'm gonna thank God for old time religion

And I'm gonna thank God for givin' me a vision

One day I'ma join the heavenly choir

And I'ma sing and never get tired

And then I'm gonna sing somewhere round God altar

And I'm gonna shout all my trouble over

You know I gotta thank God thank Him for being so good to me, ah yes

How I made it over, Lord

I had to cry in the midnight hour comin' 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 fallin' and risin' all these years

You know my soul look back and wonder

How did I make it over?

Hmm, I'm gonna wear a dyed garment

In that New Jerusalem

I'm gonna walk the streets of gold

It's in that homeland of the soul

I'm gonna do the host in white

There been tusslin' day and night

Caught up from every nation they on their way to the great carnation

They comin' from the north south east and west

They on their way to a land of rest

And then they gonna join the heavenly choir

You know we gon' sing and never get tired

And then we gon' sing somewhere round God altar

And then we gon' shout all our trouble over

You know we gotta thank God thank Him for being so good to me

You know I come to thank God this evenin'

I come to thank Him this evenin'

You know all, all night long

God kept His angels watchin' over me

And early this mornin' early this mornin'

God told His angels

God said, touch her

In my name

God said, touch her

In my name

I rose this mornin'

I feel like shoutin'

I just gotta thank God

I just gotta thank him

Thank God for bein' so good

God been good to me yeah
