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, 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 see
But Gabriel don´t you blow your trumpet ´til you hear it 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 momma 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
