Ain't No Grave (Sparse)

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

Go down yonder Gabriel, put your foot on the land and sea

Oh, Gabriel don't you blow that 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

And there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

(Hold my body down)

Going down to the river, Jordan

And I'm gonna bury my knees in the sand

Holler "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

Oh, 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

And there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

Hold my body down
