Ain’t No Grave

[Chorus]
There ain’t no grave
Can hold my body down
There ain’t no grave
Can hold my body down

[Verse 1]
When I hear that trumpet sound
I’m going to rise right out of the ground
Ain’t no grave
Can hold my body down
Well, look way down the river
And what do you think I see
I see a band of angels
And they’re coming after me

[Chorus]
Ain’t no grave
Can hold my body down
There ain’t no grave
Can hold my body down

[Verse 2]
Well, look down yonder, Gabriel
Put your feet on the land and sea
But Gabriel, don’t you blow your trumpet
Until you hear from me

[Chorus]
There ain’t no grave
Can hold my body down
Ain’t no grave
Can hold my body down

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Ain’t no grave
Can hold my body down
There ain’t no grave
Can hold my body down

[Verse 4]
Well meet me, Mother and Father
Meet me down the river road
And Mama, you know that I’ll be there
When I check in my load

[Chorus]
Ain’t no grave
Can hold my body down
There ain’t no grave
Can hold my body down
There ain’t no grave
Can hold my body down
