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 gonna rise right outa 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
ain't no grave can hold my body down
Well look down yonder gabriel
put your feet on land and sea
but gabriel don't you blow your trumpet
'till you hear from me
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 don't fail me
I will meet you anywhere
ain't no grave can hold my body down
ain't no grave can hold my body down
Well meet me mother and father
meet me down the river road
and momma you know that I'll be there
when I check my lord
ain't no grave can hold my body down
there ain't no grave can hold my body down
ain't no grave can hold my body down
