How I Got Over

HOW I GOT (OVER)

MY SOUL LOOKS BACK AND WONDER

I MADE IT (OVER)

MY SOUL LOOKS BACK AND WONDER
HOW I GOT OVER

VERSE 1
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)
