Selah, with Jason and Adam Crabb, delivers a powerful rendition of the classic gospel song "Ain't No Grave." The song celebrates the Christian hope of resurrection, declaring that death and the grave have no ultimate power over believers. It vividly describes the trumpet sound, the rising of the dead, and the meeting with Jesus in the air. The bridge offers comfort, acknowledging that while we may be buried, on resurrection morning we will rise. This is a triumphant anthem of faith and victory over death, rooted in the promise of eternal life.

[Chorus:]
Well there ain't no grave
Gonna hold this body down
Well there ain't no grave
Gonna hold this body down
When I hear that trumpet sound
Gonna get up out of the ground
Cause there ain't no grave
Gonna hold this body down
Go down yonder Gabriel
Place your foot on the land and sea
But don't you blow that trumpet now
Until you hear from me
[Repeat Chorus]
I said look way over Jordan
What do you think I'd see
I saw a band of holy angels
And they're coming after me I cried...
Meet me meet me Jesus
Meet me in the middle of the air
I'm gonna rise to meet my Lord
And say goodbye down here
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge:]
One day they'll carry me out to the graveyard
Like my grandma like my grandpa
But don't cry for me. don't cry for me
Cause on the resurrection morning
We'll all get up out of the ground
[Repeat Chorus]
