Don Moen - Grave

Dm A#maj7
there’s a step that we all take alone ,
Cmaj7 C6 A
an appointment we have with the great unknown ,
Dm A#maj7
like a vapor this life is just waiting to pass ,
Cmaj7 C6 A
like the flowers that fade , like the withering grass ,
Dm A#maj7
but life seems so long and death so complete &
Cmaj7 C6 A
the grave an impossible portion to cheat ,
Dm A#maj7
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 :
C GaddD
where is the sting , tell me where is the bite?
C6 GaddD
when the grave robber comes like a thief in the night ,
C GaddD
where is the victory , where is the prize?
C6 GaddD 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
