Words and music by Bob Hartman

Based on Hebrews 9:27, John 4:14, 1 Peter 1:24, Romans 8:11, 1 Corinthians 15:26, 51-55, Revelation 7:17

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 potion 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 the 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 and many still weep

For those that the 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

When the last enemy is done from the dust will come a song

Those asleep will be awakened - not a one will be forsakened

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
