[Lyric] How I Got Over Live at New Temple Missionary Baptist Church Los Angeles January 13 1972 Single Edit (Aretha Franklin)

[Intro]
How I got over (how I got over)
How I got over (how I got over)
My soul looks back in wonder how I got over
How I got over (how I got over)
How I got over (how I got over)
My soul looks back in wonder how I got over

[Verse 1]
Just as soon as I see Jesus (oh yes)
The man who made me free (oh yes oh yes)
He was the man that bled and suffered (oh yes oh yes oh yes)
Who died for you and for me (oh yes)

I want to thank him because he brought me oh yes
I want to thank him because he taught me (oh yes oh yes)
I want to thank God becausе he kept me oh yеs oh yes oh yes
I'm gonna thank Him 'cause he never left me oh yes

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to sing (hallelujah)
I might shout this evening (troubles over)
I'm going to thank Jesus for all He's done for me
[Chorus]
How I got over, over
My soul looks back in wonder how I got over
How I got over, over
My soul looks back in wonder how I got over

[Verse 2]
I want to wear a diadem (oh yes)
In the new Jerusalem (oh yes, oh yes)
I want to walk the streets of gold (oh yes, oh yes, oh yes)
In the homeland of the soul (oh yes)

I'm going to view the Host in white (oh yes)
Who travels both day and night (oh yes, oh yes)
Coming up from every nation (oh yes, oh yes, oh yes)
On the way to the great coronation (oh yes)

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to sing (hallelujah)
I might shout this evening (troubles over)
I'm going to thank Jesus for all He's done for me

[Chorus]
How I got over, over
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over
How I got over, over
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over
How I got over, over
My soul looks back and wonder
My soul looks back and wonder
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over
[Bridge]
I wanna thank you (thank you)
Thank you (thank you)
Thank you (thank you)
Thank you Jesus (thank you Lord)
Thank you Lord (thank you)
Thank you Jesus (thank you Lord)
You brought me (thank you)
You taught me lord (thank you)
You kept me (thank you)
And you never left me (thank you)
Thank you Jesus (thank you)
Thank you Lord (thank you)
How I got over how I got over
How I got over how I got over
My soul look back and wonder how I got over

[Chorus]
