Ain't No Grave Can Hold My Body Down

Ain't No Grave

Gonna Hold This Body Down

Originally by Claude Ely

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

And what do you think I see

I see a band of angels

And they're coming after me

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

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
