Lyrics How I Got Over - Live - Mahalia Jackson



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
