Ain't No Grave

Ain't no grave gonna hold this body down

There ain't no grave gonna hold this body down

When I hear the trumpet sound

Gonna get up outta the ground

Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold this body down

You said go down yonder Gabriel

Place your foot on the land and sea

But don't you blow that trumpet until you hear from me

Ain't no grave gonna hold this body down

There ain't no grave gonna hold this body down

When I hear the trumpet sound

Gonna get up outta the ground

Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold this body down

Oh, look way over Jordan

What do you think I see

I saw a band of Holy Angels and they're comin' after me

I cried meet me Jesus meet me

Meet me in the middle of the air

I'm gonna rise to meet my Lord and I'll say goodbye down here

Ain't no grave gonna hold this body down

There ain't no grave gonna hold this body down

When I hear the trumpet sound

Gonna get up outta the ground

Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold this body down

One day if they carry me out to the graveyard

Like my grandma like my grandpa

And they lay this body down

Don't cry for me

Church-don't cry for me
