You know back in the day when we used to have testimony service, my momma would stand up on her feet and she'd throw her head back and sing songs like this-She said
[Sung]
How I got over, How I got over (My soul) My soul looked back and wondered how I got over (I made it) over (I made it) over (My soul) soul looked back and wondered 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 trial in spite of the enemy My soul looked back and wondered how I got over
(I made it) over (I made it) over (My soul) looked back and wondered how I got over (How I got) over (By God's grace I did yeah yeah) How i got over how i got over (My soul) my soul looked back and wondered How i got over
Since then I lost my mother, my heart was filled with grief. The pain it kept on burnin' i could not find relief. Then asked the Lord to help me and yesss he gave me peace
Soul is back and I wonder how i got over
