How I Got Over
how i got (over)
how i got(over)
my soul looks back and wonder
how i got over
i made it (over)
i made it (over)
my soul looks back and wonder
how i got over
when i think of the goodness of jesus
and all he's done for me
if it had not been for his mercy
god knows where i would be
he brought me through great trials
in spite of the enemies
my soul(looks back and wonder how i got over)
since then i lost my mother
my heart was filled with grief
the pain kept on burning
i could not find relief
then i asked the lord to help me
and yes he gave me peace
my soul(looks back and wonder how i got oooooover)
i made it (over)
look at me now (over)
i'm still here (over)
yes i made it over
i came through the rough times (over)
i shoulda lost my mind(over)
yes i made it
i made it(i made it)
over (i made it)
i made it(i made it)
over(yes i made it)
they tried to stop me (i made it)
but i made it (i made it)
tried to block me (i made it)
but i made it(yes i made it)
they said it in his word i can make it i can take it
i've never seen the righteous ones forsaken
how i made it over
i made it (i made it)
(i made it)
(i made it)
(yes i made it)
i made it(over)
you made it over too(over)
look what the lord has done for you (over)
yes i made it over
i made it (over)
when i couldn't pay my bills(over)
i stayed right in here with you(over)
you know that he kept and never left me(yes i made it)
i made it(i made it)
over(i made it
i made it(i made it)
over (i made it)
through the rough times(i made it)
i made it (i made it)
through the tough times i made it(yes i made it)
he promised he told me
in trouble he told me
cast your cares he'll take em
he'll never forsake em
hold on stand strong
he won't never leave you alone
throw your hands(way up high)
lift your head up to the sky
said i made it (made it)
oh yes i made it repeat 5 times
through heartache pain, sunshine rain
days i was hurt i felt so much pain
i kept on pressing along the waaaaay
rough times tough times
heartache times bad times
all survivors get on your feet and sing along with me
i made itover (over)
how i got over(over)
my soul look back and wonder how i got over
how i got over(over)
oh yes i'm glad i'm over(over)
my soul(soul look back and wonder)
my soul(soul look back and wonder)
my soul(soul look back and wonder ooooover)

everybody just clap your hands
