Chorus: Ain’t no grave Gonna hold this body down There ain’t no grave Gonna hold this body down When I hear the trumpet sound Gonna get up outa the ground Cause there ain’t no grave Gonna hold this body down
Go down yonder Gabriel Place your foot On the land and sea But don't you blow that trumpet Until you hear from me
Repeat Chorus
I said look way over Jordan What do you think I see I saw a band of holy angels And they’re coming after me
I cried meet me Meet me, Jesus Meet me in the middle of the air I’m gonna rise to meet the Lord And I'm gonna say goodbye down here
Repeat Chorus
I cried meet me Meet me, Jesus Meet me in the middle of the air I’m gonna rise to meet the Lord And I'm gonna say goodbye down here
Repeat Chorus
One day they'll carry me out To the graveyard Like my grandma Like my grandpa They'll lay this body down Don’t cry for me Don't cry for me Cause on that Resurrection mornin' We'll all get up Out of the ground
