How I Got Over Songtext
von Aretha Franklin

How I got over (how I got over)
How I got over (how I got over)
You know my soul looks back and wonder how I got over
How I got over (how I got over)
How I got over (how I got over)
Oh, my soul looks back and wonder how I got over

Just as soon as I see Jesus (oh, yes)
The Man who made me free (oh yes, oh yes)
He was the Man who bled and suffered for us (oh yes, oh yes oh yes)
You know He died for you and me (oh, yes)

I wanna thank Him because He brought me (oh, yes)
I wanna thank You, Jesus, because You taught me (oh yes oh yes)
I wanna thank You because You kept me (oh yes, oh yes oh yes)
I wanna thank You ′cause You never left me (oh, yes)

I wanna sing (Hallelujah)
Whoa I just might shout this evening
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over


(How I got over) over, Lord
(My soul looks back and wonder) how I got over
(How I got over) over, Lord
(My soul looks back and wonder) how I got over

I wanna wear a diadem (oh, yes)
In the New Jerusalem (oh yes, oh yes)
I wanna walk the street 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 travel 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)

I wanna sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Mmm oh I might shout this evening
I′mma thank God for all He's done for me, yes I am

(How I got over, over) over, Lord
(My soul looks back and wonder) Jesus, how I got over
(How I got over, over) over, Jesus
(My soul looks back and wonder) oh yes, I do
(My soul looks back and wonder) oh how I got over


I wanna thank You (thank You)
Thank You, Jesus (thank You)
Thank You, Jesus (thank You)
Thank You, Lord (thank You)
Thank You, Jesus (thank You)
Jesus woah (thank You) Jesus
Thank You for the father, thank You, Lord
Thank You for the mother, I thank You, Lord
Thank You for the good sisters, thank You, Lord
Thank You for the brothers, thank You, Lord
Thank You for just me and for Jesus, thank You Lord
All day, all night (thank You)
Thank You, Jesus, thank You, Lord (thank You)
Thank You, Jesus, thank You my Lord (thank You)
Jesus (thank You)
Thank You, Jesus (thank You)
Oh Jesus, thank You, Lord

I'm gonna sing (Hallelujah)
Oh let me shout
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over
(How I got over, over) I wonder
(My soul looks back and wonder) oh yes, I do
(My soul looks back and wonder) yeah yeah oh yeah
How I got over
