How I Got Over

How I Got Over - Mahalia Jackson (玛哈利亚-杰克森)

How I got over

How I got over

You know my soul look back and wonder

How I made it over

How I got over

How I made it over

You know my soul look back and wonder

How I made it over

Mmm

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

I'm gonna thank him 'cause he never left me

And I wanna thank Him for 'ole time religion

I wanna thank God for giving me a vision

Oh I'm join the heavenly choir

I'm gonna sing and never get tired

I'm gonna sing somewhere 'round the alter

I'm gonna shout all my trouble over

Oh I've gotta thank You thank You for being

So good to me

Tellin' me how I made it over

'ole time

You know my soul look back and wonder

How did I make it over

Tell me how I made it over Lord

Had to cry in the midnight hour

You know my soul look back and wonder

How I made it over

Mmm

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

There we gonna join the heavenly choir

We're gonna sing and never get tired

And then we're gonna sing

Somewhere 'round Your alter

And gonna shout all our troubles over

You know I gotta thank You

Thank You for being so good to me

I wanna thank You this morning

I wanna thank You Lord this morning

You know all all night long

You kept the angels watching over me

And You told Your angel this morning

You told Your angel Lord this morning

You said "touch her in my name"

You said "touch her in my name"

And rose I 'rose this morning

Now I 'rose I 'rose this morning

Lord I feel I feel like running

I just feel I feel like running

Lord You know I feel

Feel like running Lord

Lord I just feel

I feel like running

Lord I wanna thank You thank You

Thank You for being so

Lord You being so good to me

Ahhh
