Ain’t No Grave Lyrics
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
I'm going to get up out of the ground
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
Well down yonder, Gabriel
Put your foot on the land and sea
But, Gabriel, don't you blow your trumpet
Until you hear from me
Well look away over yonder
See people dressed in white
I know it was God's people
I seen they're doing right
Well look away over the river
And what do you think I see?
I seen a band of angels
Coming after me
Cause 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
I'm going to get up out of the ground
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
Well, over the river of Jordan
With my knees down in the sand
Gonna holler high Hosana
Till I reach that promised land
Well look away over the river
And what do you think I see?
I seen a band of angels
Coming after me
Well, leave me, Jesus, leave me
Leave me in the middle of the air
And if those wings should fail me
There'll nary be another pair
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
I'm going to get up out of the ground
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
