Well there ain't no grave Gonna hold my body down Well there ain't no grave Gonna hold my body down When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna get up out of the ground Well there ain't no grave Gonna hold my body down
Oh, well, look down yonder Gabriel Look down on land and see But Gabriel don't you blow that trumpet Until you hear from me
Oh I looked on down the river Well do you think I see I see a bend of angels lord They're coming after me
Well there ain't no grave Gonna hold my body down Well there ain't no grave Gonna hold my body down When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna get up out of the ground Well there ain't no grave Gonna hold my body down
Oh I'm going down to Jordan I'm going to bury my knees in the sand I'm going to holler out johsanna I'm going to reach that promised land
So now meet me Jesus meet me Yeah, meet me in the middle of the air And if these wings won't carry me I won't need another pair.
Well there ain't no grave Gonna hold my body down Well there ain't no grave Gonna hold my body down When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna get up out of the ground Well there ain't no grave Gonna hold my body down
Oh there ain't no grave Gonna hold my body down No there ain't no grave Gonna hold my body down When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna get up out of the ground Well there ain't no grave Gonna hold my body down
Ain't gonna hold my body down Ain't gonna hold my body down Ain't gonna hold my body down Ain't gonna hold my body down Ain't gonna hold my body down
