Ain’t No Grave (Sparse Version)

[Chorus]
Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna get up out of the ground
Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

[Verse 1]
Go down yonder Gabriel, put your foot on the land and sea
Oh, Gabriel don't you blow that trumpet, until you hear from me
I looked way over yonder, and what do you think I see?
I see a band of angels and they're coming after me

[Bridge]
Then I looked way down the river, saw the people dressed in white
I knew it was God's people 'cause I saw them doing right

[Chorus]
Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound, I'm gonna get up out of the ground
And there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
(Hold my body down)

[Verse 2]
Going down to the river, Jordan
And I'm gonna bury my knees in the sand
Holler "Hosanna" 'till I reach the promised land
Then I looked way over yonder, and what do you think I see?
I see a band of angels and they're coming after me
Oh, meet me King Jesus, meet me
Won't you meet me in the middle of the air?
If these wings should carry me, I won't need another pair

[Chorus]
Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound, I'm gonna get up out of the ground
And there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
Hold my body down
