DmThere's a step thBbmaj7at we all take alone,
an appCmaj7ointment we have with the gC6reat Aunknown,
like a Dmvapor this life is just wBbmaj7aiting to pass,
like the Cmaj7flowers that fade, like the C6withering Agrass,
But Dmlife seems so long and Bbmaj7death so complete &
the Cmaj7grave an impossible pC6ortion to cAheat,
but Dmthere is One who has been there & Bbmaj7still lived to tell,
There is Cmaj7One who has been thru both C6Heaven & AHell,
and the DmGrave will come up empty Cmaj7handed that C6day,
FJesus will come and steal us Gaway
Chorus:
                                    CGaddD
Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite?
                                          C6GaddD
When the Grave Robber comes like a thief in the night,
                                     CGaddD
Where is the victory, where is the prize?
                              C6GaddD             C6  
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 & they all will awake
and in the reunion what Joy we will see, Death will Be swallowed in sweet 
Victory
(CHROUS)
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 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)

Dm Bbmaj7

There's a step that we all take alone,

Cmaj7 C6 A

an appointment we have with the great unknown,

Dm Bbmaj7

like a vapor this life is just waiting to pass,

Cmaj7 C6 A

like the flowers that fade, like the withering grass,

Dm Bbmaj7

But life seems so long and death so complete &

Cmaj7 C6 A

the grave an impossible portion to cheat,

Dm Bbmaj7

but there is One who has been there & still lived to tell,

Cmaj7 C6 A

There is One who has been thru both Heaven & Hell,

Dm Cmaj7 C6

and the Grave will come up empty handed that day,

F G

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,

GaddD

Where is the victory, where is the prize?

C6 C6

GaddD

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 & they all will awake

and in the reunion what Joy we will see, Death will Be swallowed in sweet

Victory

(CHROUS)

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 will wipe away our tears, He will steal Away our fears

there will be no sad tomorrow,there will be no pain, no sorrow
