Ain't No Grave (Sparse)

Ain't No Grave(Sparse) - Crooked Still/Aoife O'Donovan

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

I'm gonna rise up outta the ground

There 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

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

Hold my body down
