There Ain’t No Grave (Gonna Hold My Body Down) Songtext
von Vika & Linda

There ain′t no grave
Gonna hold my body down
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound
I′m gonna get up off the ground
Well, there ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down

Well, go down yonder, Gabriel
Put your feet on the land and sea
But Gabriel don't blow your trumpet
Until you hear from me

Well, I look way over yonder
Seen people dressed in white
I know it was God′s people
I seen ′em doin' right


Well, I look way down the river
And what do you think I′ve seen?
I've seen a band of angels
They′re coming after me

Well, there ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
There ain′t no grave
Gonna hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound
I'm gonna get up off the ground
Well, there ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down

Well, I′m goin′ to the river at Jordan
Gonna kneel down in the sand
Gonna holler high, "Hosanna"
'Til I reach that promised land

Well, I look way over yonder
And what do you think I′ve seen?
I've seen a band of angels
They′re coming after me


Well, meet me Jesus, meet me
Well, meet me in the middle of the air
And if these wings should fail me
There won't be no other pair

Well, there ain′t no grave
Gonna hold my body down
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound
Gonna get up off the ground
Well, there ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
