Ain't No Grave

There 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 Go down yonder Gabriel, put your foot on the land and sea Oh Gabriel, don't you blow your 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 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 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 I'm going down to the river jordan and I'm gonna bury my knees in the sand Holler "ah, 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 So 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 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 Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
