Ain't No Grave

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

There ain't no grave can hold my body down

Well, I look way down the river

And what do you think I see?

I see a band of angels, and they're coming after me

There ain't no grave can hold my body down

There ain't no grave can hold my body down

Well, look down yonder, Gabriel, put your feet on the land and sea

But, Gabriel, don't you blow your trumpet until 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

There 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
