"How I Got Over" lyrics

How I got over
How I got over, my Lord
You know my soul looked back in wonder
How I got over

How I got over
I made it over, my Lord
You know my soul looked back in wonder
How I got over

Well as soon as I see Jesus
The one who died for me
He's the one who bled and suffered
You know he hung on Calvary

I want to thank him for how he brought me
Thank him for how he taught me
Thank him because he kept me
I want to thank him 'cause he never left me

Thank God for old-time religion
Thank him for a vision
I'm gonna join a heavenly choir
I'n gonna sign and never get tired

I'm 'a sing somewhere around the alter
I'm gonna shout my troubles over
And I'm gonna thank God for all he's done for me, yeah

How I got over
I made it over, my Lord
You know my soul looked back in wonder
How I got over
I made it over, oh yes
You know my soul looked back in wonder
How I got over

Thank you, thank you, Lord
Thank you, thank you, Lord

Thank you, I want to thank you, Lord
Thank you, thank you, Lord
For keepin' me, thank you, Lord
For seein' me, thank you, Lord
All day, and all night
All day, all night
Thank you, thank you, Lord
Thank you, thank you, Lord
Makin', away from me
Our love, no way
Thank you, thank you, Lord
Thank you, huh, thank you, Lord
Thank you, Lord, thank you
Hey yeah, thank you, Lord
I'm gonna sing your praise
Thank you, thank you, Lord
Thank you, thank you now
Thank you, thank you
I feel like-a runnin'
Thank you, Lord, yes
Thank you, Lord
Hmm
