    Referencia Biblica: Hebreos 9:27, Juan 4:14, 1 de Pedro 1:24, Romanos 8:11, 1 de Corintios 15:26, 51-55,
    Apocalipsis 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 potion 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
    (Coro)
    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 and many still weep
    For those that the 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 done 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
    ___________________________________
    "Ladron De Tumbas"
    Hay un paso que todos debemos dar solos.
    Una cita que tenemos con lo desconocido.
    Como un vapor, esta vida pasa.
    Como las flores que mueren, como el césped que se marchita.
    Pero la vida parece tan larga, y la muerte tan completa,
    y a la tumba, algo imposible de burlar.
    Pero hay uno que estuvo allí y hoy vive para contarlo.
    Uno que estuvo tanto en el cielo como en el infierno.
    La tumba se quedara con las manos vacías el día
    que Jesús venga y nos rapte.
    Coro:
    ¿Donde esta su aguijón, dime, donde esta su poder,
    cuando venga el ladrón de tumbas, como ladrón en la noche?.
    ¿Donde esta la victoria, donde esta el premio,
    cuando venga el ladrón de tumbas,
    y la muerte muera por fin?.
    Muchos aun lloran y muchos se lamentan
    por aquellos que aman y que ahora duermen.
    Pero tenemos esta esperanza aunque nuestros corazones sigan sufriendo.
    Con un solo grito desde arriba, todos se levantaran.
    (Y) en esa reunión gozosa todos podremos ver
    que la muerte será salida en dulce victoria.
    Cuando el ultimo enemigo se haya ido, del polvo se levantara una canción.
    Los que duermen despertaran - Ninguno será olvidado.
    El limpiara nuestras lagrimas y arrebatara nuestros temores.
    Ya no habrá un triste mañana - No habrá mas pena ni dolor.

    on may 2nd, 1985, i was a 17 year old. i had just finished jogging and said goodbye to my mom as she was heading out the door to go shopping with her friend. after showering and getting dressed to go to work, i felt a huge compulsion to listen to this song. turns out that god was preparing me for my moms passing. three hours later, while i was at work, she suffered a massive heart attack. i know i will see her and others again.

      @@chadrasmussen1154 Please “Kiss the Son”, (God in flesh) which was even foretold in the Psalms. From start to finish, the Bible is about inheritance. Jesus died (for you) and rose again and will return. I long to be with Him in His Kingdom.
      John 20:28
      28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
      Psalms 2:6-12
      6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
      7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
      8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
      9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
      10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
      11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
      12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
      Plus, I saw your January 2023 video. Why so much vulgarity? Nearly every other word, yet you speak of being in heaven when you die. No one with a mouth spewing out vulgarity and a heart full of anger and hate like that will be welcome in the gates of heaven. It won’t happen. I hope you have changed since last year and have realized that because, “every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”.
      Luke 6:45
      A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
      Matthew 12:34-37
      34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

      I am just coming from a video about the death of Nabeel Qureshi, a Christian apologist who recently passed into the next life after his fight against cancer.
      I had actually come here to attach the link for someone who had mentioned the verse: “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” and so I am back to this song.
      This song has been very touching to me.

      Phillip Barker - This song was played at my father's funeral almost a decade ago. It still makes me cry from missing him.
      I have never doubted that one day I will see him again, healthy and whole, but it keep me from missing him. It's not wrong to miss your wife. You're missing your life with her, the good times and the bad that you would rather share with her and lean upon her for comfort. Knowing we will see them again is a comfort, not a cure, for the grief of their physical deaths.

    This song has become the anthem for my life. God moved in me so powerfully through this song during the tragic loss of my brother when I was only 18. God met me in such a powerful way then that I have NEVER been the same. I am now working as a correctional officer at a prison and I boldly and loudly proclaim the gospel with no reservation. Jesus did not hold back in delivering us from sin and death and He won't hold back as He comes again in glory and power to steal us away! He held back NOTHING in order to save us. How can we give any less to see His gospel reach those He so dearly loves?

It's beautiful and I can actually listen to it without feeling like I'm forcing my self to. I love the sound that came out of the 70's and 80's where as my grandparents think the sound was "Demon Rock and Roll" I'm glad Someone was able to make a Marriage of Rock Music and Christian Praise.-Side note, I was born in 1994 so I can honestly say all the music I have grown up with is Crap.

It will take some time for her mother's heart and my heart to not feel broken, but this beautiful song by Petra does help. I really am looking forward to when death does finally die.

    One of the most powerful lyrics by Bob Hartmann. A friend of mine worked in a Sunday school with little kids. One day she had a call and started weeping because the caller told her one of the kids that had cancer died. I had an mp3 player loaded with this album so I ran her this song. The last lines ("those who sleep will be awakened" etc. ending with powerful "there will be no pain, no sorrow") comforted her because she knew what it said and she thanked God for that song (and so did I).

    I had this album (on cassette) my freshman year of high school. I went to one of the few devout Christians I knew in school and asked her if she wanted it. She said sure but asked why I was giving it away. I told her it made me feel guilty. She said, "But that's what it's supposed to do!". Obviously, I wasn't living right at that time. She never said so, but I bet I was put on her prayer list that day. 😀

We played it as loud as we could and toasted him with some O'douls---his favorite treat. God bless both our dad's in heaven. Maybe they're friends right now.

    Dear Jeffrey Hastings,
    I know the pain is still fresh, when I lost my grandmother a couple of years ago, I felt like I went through hell because she was my anchor to God since I was a child but after pushing forward through the pain I have come to realize that she is up in Heaven and no longer in pain and that I will see her again. Meanwhile, I have good and bad days but when I begin to feel the struggle i try to close my eyes and look forward to our wonderful reunion and know that above all, God loves me and then I picture myself being wrapped by His huge arms and the Holy Spirit comforting me and I begin to settle down and sleep sweet. I will make sure to pray that you find the courage to push through and be victorious in Jesus!
