There ain't no grave can hold my bodydown
There ain't no grave can hold my body down
When I hear that trumpetsound I'm gonna rise right out of the ground
Ain't no grave can hold my bodydown

Well, look way down the river, what do you think I see?
I see aband of angels and they're coming after me
Ain't no grave can hold my bodydown
There ain't no grave can hold my body down

Well, look down yonderGabriel, put your feet on the land and sea
But Gabriel don't you blow yourtrumpet 'til you hear it from me
There ain't no grave can hold my bodydown
Ain't no grave can hold my body down

Well, meet me Jesus, meetme. Meet me in the middle of the air
And if these wings don't fail me I willmeet you anywhere
Ain't no grave can hold my body down
There ain't nograve can hold my body down

Well, meet me mother and father, meet me downthe river road
And momma you know that I'll be there when I check in myload
Ain't no grave can hold my body down
There ain't no grave can hold mybody down
There ain't no grave can hold my body down
