Bluegrass Gospel Music Lyrics
My elderly mother is looking for lyrics and music for a song….?
…Can you help? She loves to sing and is wonderful at it.
The words that I “think” we know are as follows. “Oh my feet sometimes stumble but they can’t slow me down. I’ll raise up to meet him when I hear that trumpet sound.” What she knows of it sounds like an old southern hymn or old gospel bluegrass, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Mom’s 86 years old and I’d love to hear her sing it. Her voice is still so good that she can sing it in church even without the music and bring down the house, but doesn’t always feel physically able. She doesn’t get excited about much nowadays and doesn’t ask much so when she asked for this I began a desperate search to help her find this song. PLEASE help if you can.
Could these possibly be the lyrics? They’re not exactly the same as you’ve asked for but they’re similar:
It’s called ‘Ain’t No Grave’
CHORUS
Ain’t no grave gonna hold this body down
There ain’t no grave gonna hold this body down
When I hear the trumpet sound
Gonna get up outa the ground
Cause there ain’t no grave gonna hold this body down
VERSE
You said go down yonder Gabriel
Place your foot on the land and sea
But don’t you blow that trumpet until you hear from me
CHORUS
VERSE
Oh, look way over Jordan
What do you think I see
I saw a band of Holy Angels and they’re comin’ after me
I cried meet me Jesus meet me
Meet me in the middle of the air
I’m gonna rise to meet my Lord and I’ll say goodbye down here
CHORUS
VERSE
One day if they carry me out to the graveyard
Like my grandma like my grandpa
And they lay this body down
Don’t cry for me
Church—don’t cry for me
If it’s a different song I’ll carry on looking!
