Lyrics

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
