[Verse 1]
Dm                     Bbmaj7
There is a step that we all take alone
     Cadd9                      Am      A
An appointment we have with the great unknown
       Dm                      Bbmaj7
Like a vapor this life is just waiting to pass
         Cadd9                       Am        A
Like the flowers that fade, like the withering grass
    Dm                     Bbmaj7
But life seems so long and death so complete
        Cadd9               Am        A
And the grave an impossible potion to cheat
           Dm                          Bbmaj7
But there's One who has been there and still lives to tell
        Cadd9                          Am         A
There is One who has been through both Heaven and hell
        Am            Am/G#      Am/G        Am/F#
And the grave will come up empty-handed that day
F                            G
Jesus will come and steal us away


[Chorus]
 C/G
Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite
          Am                                     G
When the grave robber comes like a thief in the night
C/G
Where is the victory, where is the prize
          Am
When the grave robber comes
     G             Dm
And death finally dies


[Verse 2]
Dm               Bbmaj7
Many still mourn, many still weep
    Cadd9                         Am       A
For those that they love who have fallen asleep
    Dm                           Bbmaj7
But we have this hope though our hearts may still ache
         Cadd9                     Am        A
Just one shout from above and they all will awake
    Am       A/G#     Am/G        Am/F#
And in the reunion of joy we will see
F                                     G
Death will be swallowed in sweet victory


[Bridge]
Am                           Bb
When the last enemy is gone from the dust will come a song
Am                              Bb
Those asleep will be awakened - not a one will be forsaken
Am                                     Bb
He shall wipe away our tears - He will steal away our fears
Am                              Bb               C
There will be no sad tomorrow - there will be no pain and sorrow


[Chorus]
C                            C/G
Where is the sting, tell me, where is the bite?
         Am                                            G
When the grave robber comes like a thief in the night?
C                     C/G
where is the victory, where is the prize?
         Am                     G
When the grave robber comes and death finally...
C                            C/G
Where is the sting, tell me, where is the bite?
         Am                                            G
When the grave robber comes like a thief in the night?
C                     C/G
Where is the victory, where is the prize?
         Am                     G                  Am
When the grave robber comes and death ... finally dies?
         C/G              Am/G       Am
Finally dies.... Finally dies ...?
