Ain't No Grave

Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

Oh, when I hear that trumpet sound

I'm gonna get up out of this 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 you blow your horn

Until you hear from me

I look way over yonder

What do you think I see?

I see a band of angels

Coming after me

And then I looked way down the river

I saw the people dressed in white

I knew it was God's people

'Cause I saw them doing right

Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

Oh, when I hear the trumpet sound

I'm gonna get up out of this ground

Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

I'm going down to the River Jordan

Gonna bury my knees in the sand

Holler "Ah, Hosanna"

Till I reach that promised land

And when I look way over yonder

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

Oh, won't You meet me in the middle of the air?

If these wings should carry me

I wouldn't need another pair

Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

Oh, when I hear the trumpet sound

I'm gonna get up out of this ground

Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
