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

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

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

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

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
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
There ain't no grave could hold his body down
