There ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
There ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound
Gonna get up out of that ground
'Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
Well, look way over yonder
What do you think I see?
I see a band of angels
And they're coming after me
'Cause 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
Gonna get up out of that ground
'Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
Well, go down yonder Gabriel,
Put your foot on the land and see
But don't you blow that trumpet
Until you hear from me
'Cause 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
Gonna get up out of that ground
'Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
Goin' down to the river Jordan
Gonna bury my knees in the sand
Gonna holler High Hosannah
Till I reach that Promised Land
Well, meet me Jesus, meet me.
Meet me in the middle of the air
I'm gonna rise to see my Lord
Gonna say goodbye down here
'Cause 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
Gonna get up out of that ground
'Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
'Cause 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
Gonna get up, gonna get up
Gonna get up out of that ground
'Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down, down, down
