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 GODS alter

And I'm gonna shout all my troubles 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

On their way to a land of rest

and their gonna join the heavenly choir

You know we're gonna sing and never get tired

and then we're gonna sing somewere 'round GODS alter

and then we're gonna shout all our troubles over

You know we gotta thank GOD and 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 night long

GOD kept his angels watching over me

and 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, GODS been good to me
