INTRO

//Dm    Dm    C    C//


          Dm           Dm/C BbM7  
There's a step that we all take alone

   C                        C/Bb A7
An appointment we have with the great unknown

        Dm                Dm/C BbM7  
Like a vapor this life is just waiting to pass

   C                            C/Bb A7
Like the flowers that fade, like the withering grass

    Dm                Dm/C  BbM7  
But life seems so long  and death so complete

   C                   C/Bb A7
And the grave an impossible portion to cheat

            Dm                Dm/C     BbM7  
But there's One Who has been there and still lives to tell

          C                       C/Bb A7
There is One Who has been through both Heaven and Hell

         Am7            /G#      /G          /F#
And the grave will come up empty handed that day

F5                             G5
Jesus will come and steal us away!


CHORUS

 C5      C5  C5             C5       C5  C5   G5
Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite?

         A5       A5  A5           A5       A5  A5   G5
When the Grave Robber comes like a thief in the night

 C5      C5  C5         C5      C5  C5   G5
Where is the victory, where is the prize?

         A5        A5  A5         F5   G5      Dm 
When the Grave Robber comes, and death finally dies!

INTRO

VERSE

Many still mourn, 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!
And in the reunion, what joy we will see
Death will be swallowed in sweet Victory!

CHORUS

BRIDGE

A5            A5 A5
When the last Enemy is gone

Bb5                F5     G5
From the dust will come a song

A5          A5 A5
Those asleep  will be awakened

Bb5            F5       G5
Not a one will be forsaken!

A5          A5 A5
He shall wipe away our tears

Bb5            F5       G5
He will steal away our fears

A5          A5 A5
There will be no sad tomorrow

Bb5               F5          G5
There will be no pain, no sorrow!
