          Dm               Bbmaj7
There's a step that we all take alone,
      Cmaj7                      C6   A
an appointment we have with the great unknown,
       Dm                       Bbmaj7
like a vapor this life is just waiting to pass,
         Cmaj7                       C6        A
like the flowers that fade, like the withering grass,
    Dm                     Bbmaj7
But life seems so long and death so complete &
    Cmaj7                C6         A
the grave an impossible portion to cheat,
    Dm                                Bbmaj7
but there is One who has been there & still lived to tell,
         Cmaj7                      C6       A 
There is One who has been thru both Heaven & Hell,
        Dm                       Cmaj7       C6
and the Grave will come up empty handed that day,
F                            G
Jesus will come and steal us away

Chorus:
C                                    GaddD
Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite?
C6                                          GaddD
When the Grave Robber comes like a thief in the night,
C                                     GaddD
Where is the victory, where is the prize?
C6                              GaddD             C6
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 though 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)
