Ain’t No Grave

There ain't no grave
Gonna hold this body down
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold this body down
When I hear the trumpet sound
Gonna get up outta the ground
'Cause there ain't no grave
Gonna hold this body down

Go down yonder, Gabriel
Place your foot on the land and sea
But don't you blow that trumpet
Until you hear from me

There ain't no grave
Gonna hold this body down
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold this body down
When I hear the trumpet sound
I'm gonna get up outta the ground
'Cause there ain't no grave, no grave
Gonna hold this body down

I say: Look way over Jordan
What do you think I see?
I saw a band of holy angels
And they're coming after me

I cried: Meet me, meet me, Jesus
Meet me in the middle of the air
I'm gonna rise to meet my Lord
And I'm gonna say goodbye down here

There, ain't no grave, no no no no no no no
Gonna hold this body down
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold this body down
When I hear the trumpet sound
Gonna get up outta the ground
'Cause there ain't no grave, no grave
Gonna hold this body down

I cried meet me, meet me, Jesus
Meet me in the middle of the air
I'm gonna rise to meet my Lord
And I'm gonna say goodbye down here

There ain't no grave, oh no no no no
Gonna hold this body down
There ain't no grave, no
Gonna hold this body down
When I hear the trumpet sound
I'm gonna get up outta the ground
'Cause there ain't no grave
Gonna hold this body down

One day, they'll carry me out to the graveyard
Like my grandma
Like my grandpa
They'll lay this body down
Don't cry for me
Don't cry for me
'Cause on that resurrection mornin'
We'll all get up out of the ground

There ain't no grave
Gonna hold this body down
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold this body down
When I hear the trumpet sound
Gonna get up outta the ground
'Cause there ain't no grave, no grave
Gonna hold this body down
