There's a step that we all take alone,
an appointment we have with the great unknown,
like a vapor this life is just waiting to pass,
like the flowers that fade, like the withering grass,
But life seems so long and death so complete &
the grave an impossible portion to cheat,
but there is One who has been there & still lived to tell,
There is One who has been thru both Heaven & Hell,
and the Grave will come up empty handed that day,
Jesus will come and steal us away
Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite?
When the Grave Robber comes like a thief in the night,
Where is the victory, where is the prize?
When the Grave Robber comes and death finally dies
Many still mourn, many still weep for those that they love who have
fallen asleep,
But we have this hope tho our hearts may still ache,
just one shout from above & they all will awake
and in the reunion what Joy we will see, Death will Be swallowed in sweet
Victory
(CHROUS)
When the last enemy is gone , from the dust will come a song,
those asleep will Be awakened, not a one will be forsaken
He will wipe away our tears, He will steal Away our fears
there will be no sad tomorrow,there will be no pain, no sorrow
(CHORUSx2)
