[Verse 1]

Oh my Lord it's a winding road

It's all bent from a heavy load

Feel the weight beneath the ground

Ain't no grave gonna hold me down

[Verse 2]

Oh my Lord I can barely sing

Waiting for You and Your reckoning

Angels hummin', can you hear the sound?

Ain't no grave gonna hold me down

Ain't no grave gonna hold me down

[Chorus]

I will rise, I will rise

I will rise, I will rise

Troubles come for everyone

Death has no respect for love

Roll that stone, I won't be found

Ain't no grave gonna hold me down

[Verse 3]

Lord I'm crooked from head to toe

Got dirty hands and a dirty soul

I was lost but now I'm found

Ain't no grave gonna hold me down

Ain't no grave gonna hold me down

[Chorus]

And I will rise, I will rise

I will rise, I will rise

Troubles come for everyone

Death has no respect for love

Roll that stone, I won't be found

Ain't no grave gonna hold me down

[Interlude]

Whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa

[Verse 4]

Feel the weight beneath the ground

Ain't no grave gonna hold me down

[Chorus]

I will rise, I will rise

I will rise, I will rise

Troubles come for everyone

Death has no respect for love

Roll that stone, I won't be found

Ain't no grave gonna hold me down

[Outro]

Whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa

Ain't no grave gonna hold me down

Ain't no grave gonna hold me down
