No, there ain’t no grave can hold my body down, There ain’t no grave can hold my body down. When I hear that trumpet sound I’m on the rise right out of the ground Ain’t no grave can hold my body down.
Well, look way down the river, What do you think I see? I see a band of angels And they’re coming after me. Ain’t no grave can hold my body down, There ain’t no grave can hold my body down.
Well look down under, Gabriel, Put your feet on the land and sea, But Gabriel don’t you blow your trumpet Till you’re here for me. There ain’t no grave can hold my body down, Ain’t no grave can hold my body down.
Well meet me, Jesus, meet me, Meet me in the middle of the air. And if these winds don’t fill me, I will meet you anywhere. Ain’t no grave can hold my body down, There ain’t no grave can hold my body down.
Well meet me, mother and father, Meet me down the river road, And mama you know that I’ll be there When I’m to gain my Lord Ain’t no grave can hold my body down, There ain’t no grave can hold my body down, There ain’t no grave can hold my body down…
