notes

1st verse
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.

2nd verse
But life seems so long and death so complete
and the grave an impossible portion to cheat,
but there's one who's been there and still lives to tell.
There's one who's been both thru Heaven & Hell.

Bridge
And the grave will come up empty handed that day,
Jesus will come and steal us away.

Chorus
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.

3rd verse
Many still mourn and many still weep
for those that they love who have fallen asleep,
But we have this hope though our hearts may still ache,
just one shout from above and they all will awake.

Bridge
And in the reunion of joy we will see,
death will be swallowed in sweet Victory.

Chorus

Big Bridge
When the Lust it'll be is gone, from the dust will come a song,
those asleep will be awakened, not a one will be forsaken.
Each will wipe away our tears, He will steal away our fears.
There will be no sad tomorrow, there will be no pain, no sorrow!
