llangdon's comments on "Grave Robber"

Grave Robber as recorded on Petra Farewell Bob Hartman 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 portion 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, many still weep For those that they 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 gone, 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 Read more about Petra Farewell

llangdon says:
This is my all-time favourite Petra song. This song has ministered to me more than any song I've ever heard. It reminds me of the "Great Hope" we have as Christians, and makes the awful separation of death more bearable.
