Crowder's song 'Ain't No Grave' is a powerful declaration of resurrection hope. The lyrics speak of a winding road and heavy burdens, but the central message is that death cannot hold the believer. Drawing from the imagery of the empty tomb, the song proclaims 'I will rise' and references rolling the stone away. It acknowledges human brokenness and sin, yet celebrates being found and redeemed. The song offers comfort and assurance that no grave can contain those who belong to Christ, making it a fitting anthem for Easter or funerals.

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
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
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]
Feel the weight beneath the ground
Ain't no grave gonna hold me down
[Chorus]
Ain't no grave gonna hold me down
Ain't no grave gonna hold me down
