The Grave Robber

LETRA

The 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 & still lived to tell,
there is one who has been
thru both heaven & hell,
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
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
(chrous)
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
(chorusx2)
