How I Got Over

How I got over (how I got over)
How I got over (how I got over)
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over
How I got over (how I got over)
How I got over (how I got over)
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over

Just as soon as I see Jesus (oh yes)
The man who made me free (oh yes oh yes)
He was the man that bled and suffered (oh yes oh yes oh yes)
Who died for you and for me (oh yes)

I want to thank him because he brought me oh yes
I want to thank him because he taught me (oh yes oh yes)
I want to thank God because he kept me oh yes oh yes oh yes
I'm gonna thank Him 'cause he never left me oh yes

I want to sing (hallelujah)
I might shout this evening (troubles over)
I'm going to thank Jesus for all He's done for me

How I got over, over
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over
How I got over, over
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over

I want to wear a diamond gem (oh yes)
In the new Jerusalem (oh yes, oh yes)
I want to walk the streets of gold (oh yes, oh yes, oh yes)
In the homeland of the soul (oh yes)

I'm going to view the Host in white (oh yes)
Who travels both day and night (oh yes, oh yes)
Coming up from every nation (oh yes, oh yes, oh yes)
On the way to the great coronation (oh yes)

I want to sing (hallelujah)
I might shout this evening (troubles over)
I'm going to thank Jesus for all He's done for me

How I got over, over
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over
How I got over, over
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over
How I got over, over
My soul looks back and wonder
My soul looks back and wonder
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over
