Verse 1

There’s a step that
We all take alone
An appointment we have
With the Great Unknown

Verse 2

Like a vapor this life
Is just waiting to pass
Like the flowers that fade
Like the withering grass

Verse 3

But life seems so long
And death so complete
And the grave an impossible
Potion to cheat

Verse 4

But there’s One
Who has been there
And still lives to tell
There is One
Who has been through
Both Heaven and Hell

Pre Chorus 1

And the grave will come up
Empty-handed that day
Jesus will come
And steal us away

Chorus 1

Where is the sting
Tell me where is the bite
When the Grave Robber comes
Like a thief in the night

Chorus 2

Where is the victory
Where is the prize
When the Grave Robber comes
And death finally dies

Verse 5

Many still mourn
And many still weep
For those that they love
Who have fallen asleep

Verse 6

But we have this hope
Though our hearts may still ache
Just one shout from above
And they all will wake

Pre Chorus 2

And in that reunion
The joy we will see
Death will be swallowed
In sweet victory

Chorus 1

Where is the sting
Tell me where is the bite
When the Grave Robber comes
Like a thief in the night

Chorus 2

Where is the victory
Where is the prize
When the Grave Robber comes
And death finally dies

Bridge 1

When the last enemy is done
From the dust will come a song
Those asleep will be awakened
Not a one will be forsaken

Bridge 2

He’s gonna wipe away our tears
Gonna steal away our fears
There will be no sad tomorrow
There will be no pain and sorrow

Refrain

There ain’t no grave
Gonna hold my body down
There ain’t no grave
Gonna hold my body down

Vamp

When I hear that trumpet sound

Bridge 3

I’m gonna get up
Get up
Get up outta that ground
Cause there ain’t no grave

Chorus 1

Where is the sting
Tell me where is the bite
When the Grave Robber comes
Like a thief in the night

Chorus 2

Where is the victory
Where is the prize
When the Grave Robber comes
And death finally dies

Tag

And death finally dies
