Subject: Lyr Add: NO GRAVE (from Kris Delmhorst)
NO GRAVE
CHORUS: Well, there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down.
No, there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down.
When I hear that trumpet sound,
I'm gonna get up out o' the ground,
And there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down.
Look down yonder, Gabriel. Look down on land and sea.
Gabriel, don't you blow that trumpet until you hear from me.
Oh, I looked on down the river, and what do you think I see?
I see a band of angels, Lord. They're comin' after me. CHORUS
I'm goin' down in Jordan. I'm gonna bury my knees in the sand.
I'm gonna holler out "hosanna!" I'm gonna reach that Promised Land.
So now, meet me, Jesus, meet me. And meet me in the middle o' the air.
If these wings will carry me, I won't need another pair. CHORUS
