(1)
A man was being buried, placed in another’s grave
The men in charge saw their enemy
And quickly ran away
As they threw the body in the ground
It touched Elisha’s bones
The dead man raised up with a shout
Great God what’s going on.
(chorus)
There’s something going on in the graveyard
Like you ain’t ever seen
The dead are coming up from the ground
Oh, can’t you hear them sing?
With resurrection power
And glory all around
There’s something going on in the graveyard
And the saints are heaven bound.
(Ain’t no grave can hold me down)
(2)
There’s a day that’s coming, that Jesus spoke about
When all those who sleep in the ground
Would wake up and come out
The world may think we’re crazy
And sometimes we feel alone
One day they’re gonna cry out
OH God what’s, going on.
