I’m giving this to Jackie for our next Verticle Worship night.
Molly does such a good job in this one.

Definitely powerful! I have it by the Crabb family and also on another CD, but nothing as powerful as this.
That open D tuning she is using is great for this song. Adds a lot of bottom end to it.

Ain't No Grave (also known as Gonna Hold This Body Down) is a traditional American gospel song attributed to Claude Ely (1922-1978) of Virginia.
Claude Ely describes composing the song while sick with tuberculosis in 1934 when he was twelve years old. His family prayed for his health, and in response he spontaneously performed this song. Originally recorded by Bozie Sturdivant in 1941 in a slower, Appalachian gospel style and in 1946-7 by Sister Rosetta Tharpe with barrelhouse piano;[1] the song in Ely's version was recorded in 1953 but composed in 1934.

Very good. That gave me chills. But I wondered at the end of the posted lyrics where it said "Written by Molly Skaggs / Jonathan David Helser / Melissa Helser". I think they wrote these specific verses and the chorus is the old standard.
Here is Johnny Cash's version:

I pretty much had to stop watching and just listen.
The side kick was so distracting.

Fuego, thanks for Cash's verison too.
