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 Im gonna 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 theyre coming after me Ain't no grave can hold my body down Ain't no grave can hold my body down
Well look down yonder Gabriel Put your feet on the land and sea But Gabriel dont you blow your trumpet till you hear from 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 wings dont fail me,I will meet you anywhere Aint 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 thatll Ill be there When I check in my load Aint 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
