Lyrics
well go down yonder gabriel put your foot on land and sea and gabriel don't you blow that trumpet boy until you hear from me, well I looked way over jordan and tell me what do you think I see I see a band of angels and they are comming after me . well meet me Jesus meet me meet me in the middle of the air and if these wings should fail me there won't be another pair. ain't no grave gonna hold my body down there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down,and when you hear that trumpet sound gonna get up out of the ground ain't no grave gonna hold my body down. going down to the river of jordan burry my knees down in the sand gonna holler hihosanna till I reach that promise land well I looked way over jordan saw some people dressed in white I knew they were God's children I knew they were living right, well meet me Jesus meet me meet me in the middle of the air and if these wings should fail me there won't be another pair. ain't no grave gonna hold my body dowm there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down when you hear that trumpet sound get up out of the ground cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
