Verso 1

Shame is a prison as cruel as a grave
Shame is a robber
And he's come to take my name
Oh love is my redeemer
Lifting me up from the ground
Love is the power
When my freedom song is found

Refrão 1

There ain’t no grave
Gonna hold my body down
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down

Refrão 2

When I hear that trumpet sound
I'm gonna rise up outta the ground
There ain’t no grave
Gonna hold my body down

Verso 2

Oh fear is a liar
With a smooth and velvet tongue
Fear is a tyrant
He's always telling me to run
Oh love is a resurrection
And love is a trumpet sound
Love is my weapon
I'm gonna take my giants down

Refrão 1

There ain’t no grave
Gonna hold my body down
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down

Refrão 2

When I hear that trumpet sound
I'm gonna rise up outta the ground
There ain’t no grave
Gonna hold my body down

Verso 3

Oh there was a battle
A war between death and life
And there on a tree
The Lamb of God was crucified
And He went on down to hell
He took back every key
And He rose up as a lion
And He set all captives free

Refrão 1

There ain’t no grave
Could hold his body down
There ain't no grave
Could hold his body down

Refrão 2

When He heard that trumpet sound
He rose up outta the ground
There ain’t no grave
Could hold his body down

Repete

There ain’t no grave
Could hold his body down

Repete

There ain’t no grave
Could hold my body down

Ponte

If you walked out of the grave
I'm walking too
If you walked out of the grave
I'm walking too
If you walked out of the grave
I'm walking too
If you walked out of the grave
I'm walking too

Refrão 1

There ain’t no grave
Gonna hold my body down
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down

Refrão 2

When I hear that trumpet sound
I'm gonna rise up outta the ground
There ain’t no grave
Gonna hold my body down

Repete

There ain’t no grave
Gonna hold my body down
