Ain’t No Grave

Ain’t No Grave

Written by Claude Ely, Molly Skaggs, Jonathan David Helser, Melissa Helser

VERSE 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

And love is the power when my freedom song is found

CHORUS

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, I'm gonna rise up outta the ground

There ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

VERSE 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

VERSE 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’s setting all the captives free

CHORUS 2

There ain't no grave could hold His body down

There ain't no grave could hold His body down

When He heard the trumpet sound, He rose up outta the ground

There ain't no grave could hold His body down

FINAL CHORUS

When He heard the trumpet sound, He rose up outta the ground

There ain't no grave, could hold His body down
