Ain't No Grave

There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down



When I hear that trumpet sound

I'm gonna rise right out of the ground

Ain't no grave

Can hold my body down



Well, look way down the river

What do you think I see

I see a band of angels

And there coming after me



There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down



We'll look down younder Gabriel

Put you foot down on the see

But Gabriel don't blow your trumpet

Till you hear from me



There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down



Well meet me Jesus, meet me

Meet me in the middle of the earth

And if these wings don't fail me

I will meet you anywhere



Ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down



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



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
