I first heard about Jesus sittin' on my mama's knee
All heart & all ears, my eyes filled with tears,
as she told where he died just for me
Though the years have gone by I still break down & cry
when the story is told to me still
Cause though it may be the truth I'm getting over my youth
Though I will never be over the hill
Never be over the hill
I'll never be over Calvary
For it was there sin's power over me
Was taken away, Oh happy day
Overcome by the blood of the lamb
I am saved & forever I am
Overwhelmed, overjoyed, overfilled
I'll never be over the hill
What was yesterday's marvel, too soon becomes today's mundane
But the world's greatest story, redemption glory
Can never be common & plain
though it's the Johnny come lately men admire so greatly
Every new whim that brings a new thrill
There's no current affair can match what happened up there
I know I'll never be over the hill
(Repeat Chorus)
Overwhelmed, overjoyed, overfilled
I'll never be over the hill
(Repeat Chorus)
Over the hill
