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 your feet on the land and 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 air
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
