My soul look back and wonder
Well, just soon as I see king Jesus

Well, the man who bled and suffered (Oh, yes)
You know he hung on Calvary (Oh, yes)

[Chorus]
I'm gon' thank him for how he brought me
Well, I'm gon' thank him for how he taught me
Oh, thank him for how he kept me
I'm gon' thank him 'cause he never left me
I'm gonna thank him for heart felt religion
I'm gonna thank him for a vision
I'm gonna sing hallelujah
Oh, shout all my trouble over

Well, I'm gonna wear a diadem (Oh, yes)
In the new Jerusalem (Oh, yes)
Gonna walk the streets of gold (Oh, yes)
It's the homeland of the soul (Oh, yes)
I'm gonna view the host in white (Oh, yes)
They've been traveling day and night (Oh, yes)
Coming up from every nation (Oh, yes)
Oh, on their way to the great Coronation (Oh, yes)
Coming from the north, south, east and west (Oh, yes)
On their way to a land of rest (Oh, yes)
I'm gonna join the heavenly choir (Oh, yes)
I'm gonna sing and never get tired (Oh, yes)

Child, I'm gonna sing hallelujah
Yes, I'm gonna shout trouble over
