he had his problems like all of us, but he chose to touch many of us. words to live by, it played at my dad's funeral also. I gota believe that you and grandpa as well as me and dad will meet in heaven. I can see dad fishing and waiting now. dad had cancer in the end
@@Cassius4 I love this country and she ain’t never fell but she’s stumbled and this country was bieng tyrannical when they were taking away rights and jobs form southerners and how about you say that is not tyranny cause then let me take away your way of making a living and let’s see you go along with it
perhaps he was enough for his era ... don't forget David the King/Psalmist/and so much more ... a very significant portion of God's Holy Word is either poetry and or music. I fully believe God had reasons beyond our full understanding for this. I grew up in the rocknroll era learning instruments from childhood but now everything I write/play is for God's Glory. God Bless Johnny Cash and all his family.
+Brett Murphy Interestingly enough, it's not an original song. It was a choir song that he simply made more popular. And much darker with his instrumental arrangement. It was originally a much more upbeat tune played at churches. Now it sounds more at home in a funeral parlor, or zombie film. And you know what? I'm ok with that. I think this song was done the most justice when the Undertaker used it at Wrestlemaia ( I want to say 27, but can't really recall clearly ). It added thunder claps to the sound. Really brought out the dark vibe that this cover is known for. Just a shame that all future broadcasts of the event edited it out, replacing it with his usual theme.
Amen , it’s about the resurrection! The lord is coming for what’s his and then everyone that’s his will meet him in the sky with his legions of angels behind him!
Got hit by an actual ambulance going 43 responding to another emergency call. The driver ran up to me as i dusted myself off and insisted on taking me to the hospital. He told me hed been going 43 miles an hour and he only saw my torso flying up over his windshield. After a thorough exam i was declared perfectly fine. Walked home afterwards. Hard not to believe in miracles after that
My mother has passed away from stomach cancer. I know she is in heaven with our heavenly father Lord God. There is no grave that can hold her body. I thank God for allowing her to spend 65 years with me and the family but I know our Lord wanted her to come home. I miss you mom and I will never forget you 😢😢😢
Same thing happend to me, 9 years ago, she was 55 years old. Life is really at the same time field of beauty and terror. Hold on to your spirit man...theres no other way...
My Dad passed away last year, from chronic illness including a wounded liver. I’m so sorry for your loss. I know my Dad placed his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and has gone home to be with Him. We had this song play at his funeral. When that trumpet sounds, no grave will hold down the believers. We live because Jesus Christ died for us. ““Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed- in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
This song hits deep when you have had someone you love dearly pass away. It also feels good to hear because it makes you think so highly of that person. Makes me smile through the sadness. R.I.P grandaddy.

I am happy for Johnny. In his later life he saw Jesus. He asked him to save him. That is so real, so vibrant! Christ was his focus near the end. Johnny was never a bad man, he just needed a focus. He found it. Praise the lord he found it near the end. We have all loved Johnny and we must rejoice. He saw the Lord.
I can hear Johnny singing that now in heaven... LOVE IT!!! I want this song at my funeral. I loved this man's devotion to his wife and GOD. I know so many see flaws in everyone, but unconditional love was practiced by JESUS. HE SEES OUR POTENTIAL. THat man's potential was never wasted.
lyrics There ain't no grave Can hold my body down There ain't no grave Can hold my body down When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna rise right out of the ground Ain't no grave Can hold my body down Well, look way down the river And what do you think I see I see a band of angels And they're coming after me Ain't no grave Can hold my body down There ain't no grave Can hold my body down Well, look down yonder, Gabriel Put your feet on the land and sea But Gabriel, don't you blow your trumpet Until you hear from me There ain't no grave Can hold my body down Ain't no grave Can hold my body down Well meet me, Jesus, meet me Meet me in the middle of the air And if these wings don't fail me, I will meet you anywhere Ain't no grave Can hold my body down There ain't no grave Can hold my body down Well meet me, Mother and Father, Meet me down the river road And Mama, you know that I'll be there When I check in my load Ain't no grave Can hold my body down There ain't no grave Can hold my body down There ain't no grave Can hold my body down
I like to think that this song is perfect for funerals, but also for people struggling to survive on though realities: depression, mental illness, drug addiction... At least I feel it on my bones during crisis.
Cash is without a doubt the greatest artist the US of A will ever produce. Considering all of the shit he went through in his life these late recordings of his have such an impact emotionally for him and his audience. Not to mention he kept at it until a few weeks before he died, you won't find that dedication or persistence anywhere else. You'll always be the best, Johnny.
From some of Johnny's FINAL recording sessions. Oh, how he LOVED to sing Gospel Songs and Spirituals, and this is one of the best - AIN'T NO GRAVE CAN HOLD MY BODY DOWN! Thanks, Ric, for giving us this one!
When Johnny recorded this, he must've known his time was coming. But, nothing can hold his music or his legacy down. Forever free in the hearts of the fans that keep him alive.
"I will rise. I will rise. I will rise. I will rise. Trouble's 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." -Crowder (Album "Neon Steeple")
@@mr.kingofphenomenal4629 it's spirits that make you feel that. It's an extremely powerful song That makes you realize we're all going to be dead someday. This whole album is like that. Somber tone notes along with lyrics that hit home makes for a sad yet very....inspiring I guess could be just one of the many thoughts that speed through our brains (mine anyways). I don't know...i guess it just kinda lights a fire under your ass to try to at least enjoy your days while you have them. You can hear it in Johnnys voice and music that this was his way of saying I accept everything in my life good or bad that's happened to me and it's ok
@@jasonangel4221 Dude I haven't listened to this song for a long time. When I first heard song as little kid I fell in love with this song. It got stuck in my head for a few months as little kid always had chills up my spine. A few years later I'm older but 8 months later hearing this song makes me cry in seconds. Even when I pause the song the song continues to play in my head and tears start falling down. I love this song but I can't listen to it so much because it makes me cry.
@@jasonangel4221 But I know someday I will die but I do believe in afterlife. I'm not afraid dying but what makes me scared is falling short making it to Heaven. Now that scared me a lot.
This song has a solemn air to it. I'm an Atheist and I love it. Though I view the lyrics as mere fantastic poetry... Still, insofar one take the lyrics seriously, it is a great illustration of religious wishful thinking. Perhaps Freud was right to note that the future of religious superstitions is ineradicable at least for as long as we fear death.
MrSidney9 I think Religion is more rooted in how developed human empathy and imagination is, we apply humanity to everything, even nothing. Just look at how we value our pets and fight for the rights of things that don't even feel.
Nathan C. We come from a line of pattern-seeking animals who tended to make Type I error( false-positive), attributing an agency where there's none: a hominid who tends to think that the rustle in the grass is caused by a lion ( a cause with intentions), whether he is wrong or not, tends to survive and reproduce more than the hominid who assumes that the rustle in the grass is due to the wind. So when the crop fails or an epidemics kills half of the people in the village, our ancestors assume it's the work of an agent. Being agents ourselves we naturally assume that those other invisible "agencies" operate in ways similar to ours, thereby anthropomorphizing them: they love, hate, get upset, can be appeased (through rituals); they even eat (sacrificial blood or praises and prayers). like you said, still now ,we tend to anthropomorphize anything, now, however, many of us do it knowing well that this is what we're doing, so we're less likely to deify a horse, a cow, but there are people who feel more connection to say a dog, than a fellow human. And... the abrahamic god is just an invisible superhuman who happens to be timeless and spaceless(whatever the helk that means)
MrSidney9 We're also great at filling in the blanks. Since we don't process external info fast enough our brain makes leaps based on past experience and understanding. Problem is, what we can naturally experience is limited.
MrSidney9 What some people don't understand is that even if we move away from organized religion as a culture in the west there will always be cults and personal superstition that crop up. It's part of the human condition.
love Johnny cash ❤️ i know when my husband passes away being played at the funeral and hell i may play this song at my wedding/reception as our walk in music
Yeah so cool the time line...thank you...funny breathing the same air as this man...thank you Johnny; for the people. * howz that Rick Rubin...cool says it all...the man commands. xx
There ain't no grave can hold my body down There ain't no grave can hold my body down When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna rise right out of the ground Ain't no grave can hold my body down Well, look way down the river What do you think I see? I see a band of angels, and they're coming after me Ain't no grave can hold my body down There ain't no grave can hold my body down Well, look down yonder, Gabriel Put your feet on the land and sea But Gabriel, don't you blow your trumpet 'til you hear it from me There ain't no grave can hold my body down Ain't no grave can hold my body down Well, meet me, Jesus, meet me Meet me in the middle of the air And if these wings don't fail me I will meet you anywhere Ain't no grave can hold my body down There ain't no grave can hold my body down Well, meet me, mother and father Meet me down the river road And momma you know that I'll be there When I check in my load Ain't no grave can hold my body down There aint no grave can hold my body down There ain't no grave can hold my body down
Blessings Praying many great singers make it back to Paradise One of the greatest Blessings Johnny and June Gods loves us all with that soulful sound Amen 🙏
This song is pure aural fortitude. It's like he took the song "I won't back down" and distilled it's emotional resonance by several orders of magnitude. P. S. "I bet this song was playing inside Jesus' head after his resurrection."
If anyone notices Johnny Cash INCLUDED everyone in his songs! He wore Native American jewelry and was instrumental in expressing human rights I think! He sung to the people in power who made changes!I I think he is overlooked as a great American who helped pave the way for equal rights!
There ain't no grave Can hold my body down There ain't no grave Can hold my body down When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna rise right out of the ground Ain't no grave Can hold my body down Well, look way down the river And what do you think I see I see a band of angels And they're coming after me Ain't no grave Can hold my body down There ain't no grave Can hold my body down Well, look down yonder, Gabriel Put your feet on the land and sea But Gabriel, don't you blow your trumpet Until you hear from me There ain't no grave Can hold my body down Ain't no grave Can hold my body down Well meet me, Jesus, meet me Meet me in the middle of the air And if these wings don't fail me, I will meet you anywhere Ain't no grave Can hold my body down There ain't no grave Can hold my body down Well meet me, Mother and Father, Meet me down the river road And Mama, you know that I'll be there When I check in my load Ain't no grave Can hold my body down There ain't no grave Can hold my body down There ain't no grave Can hold my body down
