Ain't No Grave (Gonna Hold My Body Down)


Chorus
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
Gonna get up out of that ground
Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down.

Verse 1
Well, look way over yonder, what do you think I see?
I see a band of angels and they're coming after me
Chorus

Verse 2
Well, go down yonder Gabriel, put your foot on the land and see
But don't you blow that trumpet until you hear from me
Chorus

Verse 3
Goin' down to the river Jordan, gonna bury my knees in the sand
Gonna holler High Hosannah till I reach that Promised Land.

Verse 4
Well, meet me Jesus, meet me. Meet me in the middle of the air
I'm gonna rise to see my Lord gonna say goodbye down here

Chorus
