Ain't No Grave

There ain't no grave, gonna hold my body down

Ain't no grave, gonna hold my body down

When I hear that trumpet sound

I'm gonna get up out of the ground

Ain't no grave, gonna hold my body down

Go down yonder, Gabriel,

Put your foot on the land and sea

Oh Gabriel, don't blow your trumpet

Until you hear from me

I looked way over yonder, and what do you think I see?

I see a band of angels and they're comin' after me

Then I looked way down the river

Saw the people dressed in white

I knew it was God's people

'Cause I saw them doin' right

Ain't no grave, gonna hold my body down

Ain't no grave, gonna hold my body down

When I hear that trumpet sound

I'm gonna get up out of the ground

Ain't no grave, gonna hold my body down

Goin' down to the river Jordan

And I'm gonna bury my knees in the sand

Holler, "Ah, hosanna" till I reach the promise land

Then I looked way over yonder and what do you think I see?

I see a band of angels and they're coming after me

So meet me King Jesus, meet me

Won't you meet me in the middle of the air

If these wings should carry me, I won't need another pair

Ain't no grave, gonna hold my body down

Ain't no grave, gonna hold my body down

When I hear that trumpet sound

I'm gonna get up out of the ground

Ain't no grave, gonna hold my body down

Ain't no grave, gonna hold my body down
