Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a step that we all take alone
An appointment we have with the great 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's One who has been there and still lives to tell
There is One who has been through both heaven and hell
And the grave will come up empty-handed that day
Jesus will come and steal us away
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Many still mourn and 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 of joy we will see
Death will be swallowed in sweet victory
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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 shall wipe away our tears, he will steal away our fears
There will be no sad tomorrow, there will be no pain and sorrow
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
Whoa, where is the prize?
Where is the prize?
When death finally dies...
