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 band 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 should fail me, please, meet me with 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.
