Grave Robber
There's a step that we all take alone,
an appointment we have with the grave 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,
and the grave an impossible portion to cheat.
But there is One who has been there and still lived to tell,
there is One who has been thru both Heaven and Hell.
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 and they all will awake.
And in the reunion of joy we will see,
death will be swallowed in sweet victory.
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.
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.
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.
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.
