Ain't No Grave Lyrics

Tom Jones Ain't No Grave

Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
when I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna get up out of
the ground
aint' no grave gonna hold my body down

go down yonder gabriel put your foot on the land and
sea
oh gabriel don't you blow your trumpet until you hear
from me

I looked way over yonder and what do you think I see?
I see a band of angels and they're coming after me

then I looked way down the river saw the people dressed
in white
I knew it was god's people 'cause I saw them doing
right

ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
when i hear that trumpet sound i'm gonna get up out of
the ground
aint' no grave gonna hold my body down

I'm going down to the river jordan and I'm gonna bury
my knees in the sand
holler "ah, hosanna" till I reach the promised land

then I looked way over yonder and what do you think I
see?
I see a band of angels and they're coming after me

so meet me king jesus meet me wont' you meet me in the
middle of the air
if these wings should carry me, I won't need another
pair

ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
when i hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna get up out of
the ground
aint' no grave gonna hold my body down
ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
