How I Got Over (Live)

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

LordHad 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

LordI'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

JesusThe man that died for me

Man that bled and suffered

And he hung on

CalvaryAnd

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 alterAnd

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 yeahHow

I made it over

LordI 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

JerusalemI'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

CognationComing 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 alterAnd then we're gonna shout all our troubles over

You know we gotta thank

GodThank 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

GodI just gotta thank

God, I just gotta thank him

Thank God for being so good,

God been good to me
