[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
