For turning out church at Eastertime ...
How I got over?
How I got over!
My soul looks back and I wonder
How I got over?
How I got over?
How I got over!
My soul looks back and I wonder
How I got over?
Just as soon as I can see Jesus
The Man that died for me!
The Man that bled and suffered
Hung out on Calvary!
I thank Him because He taught me!
I thank Him because He brought me!
I thank Him because He kept me!
I thank Him because He never left me!
I thank Him for the Holy Bible!
I thank Him for good ol' revival!
I thank Him for heavenly vision!
I thank Him for ol' time religion!
Well, I'm gonna sing!
Hallelujah!
You know I'm gonna shout!
Hallelujah!
I'm gonna thank Him
For all He's done for me!
You know, I'm gonna wear a diadem
In the new Jerusalem!
I'm gonna walk the streets of gold
In the homeland of the soul!
I'm gonna view the Host in white!
I'm gonna travel both day and night!
Coming up from every nation,
On their way to the great Coronation!
Coming from the north, south, east, and west,
On their way to the land of rest!
I'm gonna join the heavenly choir!
I'm gonna sing and never get tired!
Well, I'm gonna sing!
Hallelujah!
You know I'm gonna shout!
Hallelujah!
I'm gonna thank Him
For all He's done for me!
Thank Him in the morning!
Thank Him in the nooning!
Thank Him in the evening when the sun is going down ...!
Thank you, Lord, for being so good to me!
Aw dang... got started tellin' sea stories with fellow sailor here at da hole... missed everybody again...
dangit.
Nope, that's got too many verses, not enough syllables per line, and too much repition - wouldn't qualify as a hymn under the old definition. Might get in through the praise band section but that's iffy. Maybe get the worship team to do it during the offeratory.
