(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 outta 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)
