There ain't no grave to hold my body down
There ain't no grave to hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound
I'm on a rise out of the ground
There ain't no grave to hold my body down
Oh look down yonder Gabriel!
Put your feet on the land and sea!
Oh go down yonder river
What do you think I see?
There ain't no grave to hold my body down
There ain't no grave to hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound
I'm on a rise out of the ground
There ain't no grave
Ain't no grave to hold my body down
Oh meet me Jesus meet me!
Meet me in the air!
I'm going down to the river of Jordan
And bury my knees in the sand
There ain't no grave to hold my body down
There ain't no grave to hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound
I'm on a rise out of the ground
There ain't no grave
Ain't no grave to hold my body down
Oh look down yonder river!
What do you think I see?
There ain't no grave to hold my body down
There ain't no grave to hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound
I'm on a rise out of the ground
There ain't no grave
Ain't no grave to hold my body down
There ain't no grave
Ain't no grave to hold my body down
