And they're gonna join the heavenly choir
God told his angel God said, "touch her in my name"
I feel like shouting, I feel like shouting, I feel like shouting
And I want to thank God for how he taught me
How did I make it over
Oh thank my God how he kept me
You know my soul look back and wonder
How did I make it over
How I made it over
You know my soul look back and wonder
I'm gonna wear a diamond garment
Man that bled and suffered
I had to cry in the midnight hour coming on over
And I'm gonna shout all my trouble over
And I'm gonna thank God for giving me a vision
I come to thank him this evening
One day, I'm gonna join the heavenly choir
I'm gonna walk the streets of gold
You know we're gonna sing and never get tired
Early this morning, early this morning
I'm gonna view the host in white
Tell me how we got over Lord
Thank him for being so good to me
Tell me how I made it over Lord God Lord
I just gotta thank God, I just gotta thank him
Going on over all these years
They're on their way to a land of rest
You know all all night long God kept his angels watching over me
You know my soul look back and wonder
They've been traveling day and night
And I want to thank him for how he brought me
And then I'm gonna sing somewhere 'round God alter
You know I come to thank God this evening
You know my soul look back and wonder
The man that died for me
I'm gonna sing and never get tired
And then we're gonna shout all our troubles over
Then I'm gonna thank God for 'ole time religion
You know we gotta thank God
But you know my soul look back and wonder
God said, "touch her in my name"
And he hung on Calvary
It's the homeland of the soul
I 'rose this morning, I 'rose this morning, I 'rose this morning
I've been falling and rising all these years
Had a mighty hard time coming on over
I feel like shouting, I feel like shouting, I feel like shouting
How did I make it over
Coming up from every nation
So good to me, Lord yeah
How did I make it over
Falling and rising all these years
How did we make it over
They're on their way to the great Cognation
You know I've gotta thank God and thank him for being
In that new Jerusalem
And then we're gonna sing somewhere 'round God alter
Tell me how we got over Lord
Coming from the north, south, east, and west
I'm gonna thank him 'cause he never left me
I feel like shouting, I just gotta thank God, I just gotta thank God
But you know my soul look back and wonder
But, soon as I can see Jesus
How did I make it over
How I made it over Lord
