Death is a dread for everyone, but its surely going to come Unless the Lord makes his return before we die But Im not afraid to face the grave for very soon it will be day And I know Ill just have to stay there overnight Chorus Oh, its just a place to spend the night, a place to rest before my flight Morning will come with a shout of my King and I will rise so high, Above the clouds, beyond the sky Oh, its not a grave, its just a place to spend the night There is a thought that cheers me on, it will bring you comfort after Im gone God made a promise there would come an end to this night Hell send down his son to gather us in Those he has saved, redeemed from our sins And the children who sleep thank God therell be the very first ones to rise
