The Grave Robber

Petra

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)
