NOTES: "All Over Me" or "He's All Over Me" is a traditional spiritual collected from Five Blind Boys in 1957. The 2nd verse is probably wrong; the end section is incomplete. Two other versions are listed below.
All Over Me- Five Blind Boys
CHORUS: Well... you know it's all (all over me) over me (all over me)
You know that it's all (all over me) over me (all over me)
you know Jesus is keeping me alive (me alive)
Oh yes (keeping me alive)
(repeat)
VERSE: You know I heard of a story
Of a place so bright and fair
I'm gonna meet all my friends
Over, over there
VERSE: There's gonna be people
None of them crying
There's gonna be people
All of them running
I know Jesus is keeping,
Me alive- yes.
CHORUS
He's All Over Me- Performed by Georgia Mass Choir
Chorus 1: He's all over me and He's keeping me alive. REPEAT
I know that He's keeping me alive,
He's keeping me alive.
Chorus 2:
He's in my hand, He's in my feet;
I can hardly keep my seat.
He's in my spirit, in my soul;
I'll never grow old.
He's in my heart, He's in my mind;
I'm glad that He's mine.
He's all over me and He's keeping me alive.
I know that He's keeping me alive,
He's keeping me alive.
Verse: Like the Hebrew boys were thrown in the firey furnace,
Everybody thought it was over for them,
but the Lord brought them out alright.
He's a sure foundation, the God of all creation;
there's nothing that He won't do for you,
you can trust Him, He'll see you through.
Vamp:
He's on my right,
He's on my left,
in front and back,
underneath, over me,
and He's living down inside.
Ending:
I know that He's keeping me alive,
He's keeping me alive.
