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

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

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

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

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

Ain't no grave gonna hold me down
Ain't no grave gonna hold me down
