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


Repeat Chorus
