Ain't No Grave Can Hold My Body Down

from Anchor Hymns by Zach Malm

/

lyrics

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 outta the ground
Well there ain’t no grave, gonna hold my body down

Well go down yonder Gabriel, put your foot on the land and sea,
But Gabriel don’t you blow your trumpet until you hear from me
Well I looked way over yonder, saw people dressed in white
I knew it was God’s people, I saw them doin right
Well I look way down the river and what do you think I see
I see a band of angels, they’re comin 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
Gonna get up outta the ground
Well there ain’t no grave, gonna hold my body down

Well I’m going to the river of Jordan, gonna bury my knees in sand
Gonna holler high Hosanna, gonna reach that promised land
Well I look way over yonder, and what do you think I see
I see a band of angels, they’re comin after me
Well meet me King Jesus, meet me in the middle of the air
And if these wings should carry me, I won’t need another 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 outta the ground
Well there ain’t no grave, gonna hold my body down
