Petra - Grave Robber Lyrics
[Based on 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
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 that day
Jesus will come and steal us away
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
And death finally dies
Many still mourn and 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 forsaken
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

Petra Grave Robber Comments
Interesting that this is a second version of Petra's earlier recording of the song. Both good.
He didn't say Where is the glory? at the end. You got that lyric wrong. He simply repeated Where is the prize?
great song
I enjoyed this.
Se nota que esta canción está muy bien hecha, se ve el esfuerzo y dedicación de todos los que contribuyen a estas canciones.
Me encantan vuestras canciones, ojalá no dejéis de hacer esto.
Pero lo mejor es que lo hacéis por Jesús, gracias por leer este comentario.
muy bella me inspira de gran bendición para mi vida
Wonderful songs
When I was a rebel youth in the early 80s, Petra, Servant, & other Christian bands got my attention. When I wouldn't listen to traditional music, Petra spoke to me. I want this song played at my funeral. In fact, play a bunch of Petra with my photo montage! Praise the Lord, I am saved! Oh death! Where is your sting?! John 3:16 John 14:6.
Disco Biker - My dad insisted this play at his funeral, so we did. Now this song brings me to tears when I hear it
4:47 Grabe Robber but a very powerful song
I absolutely love this song. It still gives me goosebumps!Thank you Jesus!!!!!
Well Said! 👍👏✌️
this song always bring me to tears.. I can't wait! This video is beautifully done.. thank you.
My favorite song of Petra. Brings back memories of watching them in concert in college. Only suggestion to those that do lyric vids, check spelling. Such a beautiful video and song would have been even more beautiful with some misspellings corrected.
Muito bom!
Petra we praise you👍superb
song , keep on singing 👩
Nice. I dedicate this song to those who lost loved ones in Parkland Florida. Please give Jesus your life.
Esta canción me encanta buen ritmo
Great song
i love this song so much. if you agree like this comment
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love it so much too
A very beautiful, meaningful, amazing song..
Could you fix the last part? It says Grabe Robber. Needs to be Grave Robber. Thank you for arranging the music to the beautiful pictures.
Thank you, I will try....
I wish modern Christian bands were more like this, with the meaningful lyrics, beautiful instrumentals, and vocals full of emotion!
Two Coats & Two Rootbeers...I agree. It seems, to me, at least, that so many newer songs have no recognizable tune. I can’t hum or whistle or sing to them. Just chords and words but no hook. These older songs had so much more to them.
U right Bro, many bands fear to say Jesus Christ' s name in its lyrics, today we can't find difference between their songs and love songs. God bless u and stay right to the end.
@vemrs So very true. Can't tell the difference between the so called Believers and the world. God said be either hot or cold, not lukewarm.
Ronaldo, thank you, thank you, thank you!! I appreciate you so much for putting this together in an incredible way. Bless you brother! Jeff
Thank you for watching
can u tell me what is the meaning of "from the dust will come a song"????
I think is a way to say that God will create something new from something destroyed, something made dust,
sureshm kumar Adam and eve
that is the resurrection! He will raise the body of the believer from the dust and reunite his spirit :)
Amen! Hallelujah!To God be the glory forever and ever!
Petra was the first Christian music that helped me understand what the old Hymns were talking about. I love both types and use them, like using King James sometimes and NIV at other times. God works through many different means to reach many different people!
G Daniel my favourite version of the bible is the nkjv (new king james version). It’s still king James, but easy to understand like the niv (but without anything being left)
G Daniel Right on. In my youth, I was angry & confused. I would've ignored Christian music altogether back then, if it hadn't been for Petra & Servant. I was in h.s. when Petra released their first album. My brothers & I loved it!
Great job on video. Thanks for posting, God Bless.
Petra was one of the best if not the best that emerged from the 80's. Christian rock scene.
Solid lyrical and musical content.
great song, great band, more powerful lyrics as time goes by
I like the part that says that death finally dies
Something something strange aeons
I prefer the straighter original version, it aint pretensious the way it was sang- centered on the song itself
good song
