Oh my Lord it's a winding road It's all bent from a heavy load Feel the weight beneath the ground Ain't no grave gonna hold me down
Oh my Lord I can barely sing Waiting for You and Your reckoning Angels hummin', can you hear the sound? Ain't no grave gonna hold me down Ain't no grave gonna hold me down
[Chorus:] I will rise, I will rise I will rise, I will rise Troubles come for everyone Death has no respect for love Roll that stone I won't be found Ain't no grave gonna hold me down
Lord I'm crooked from head to toe Got dirty hands and a dirty soul I was lost but now I'm found Ain't no grave gonna hold me down Ain't no grave gonna hold me down
[Chorus]
Feel the weight beneath the ground Ain't no grave gonna hold me down
[Chorus]
Ain't no grave gonna hold me down Ain't no grave gonna hold me down
