How I got over?
How did I make it make it over?
You know my soul look back and wonder

How I made it over?
Coming on over all these years
You know my soul look back and wonder
How I made it over?

Ooh, but soon as I can see Jesus
Man that died for me
Man that bled and suffered
Hung on Calvary
And I wanna thank him for how he brought me
And I wanna thank God for how he taught me
Oh, thank my God how he kept me
Oh, I'm gonna thank him 'cause He never left me

Tell me how I made it over?
I've been falling and rising all these years
You know my soul look back and wonder
How I made it over?

Mmm

I'm gon' wear a di-garment
In that New Jerusalem
I'm gonna walk the streets of gold
It's in the homeland of the soul
I'm gonna view the hosts in white
That been traveling day and night
Coming up from every nation
They hold their way to the great coronation
Coming from the north, south, east and west
They on their way to a land of rest
They gonna join the heavenly choir
Yes, we gon' shout and never get tired (oh yes)
And then I'm gon' shout glory hallelujah
I'm gonna shout all my troubles over
Lord, I gotta thank You
Thank You for being so good to me
