|
I am the resurrection and the Life |
|
He that believeth in me |
|
Though he were dead |
|
Yet shall he live |
|
A certain man had died |
|
In the town of Bethany |
|
And Lazarus was his name |
|
The Bible says he was |
|
A man that Jesus loved |
|
And his sisters thought |
|
It was a shame |
|
Mary and Martha longed |
|
For Jesus healing touch |
|
To come and raise their brother |
|
Cause they loved that boy so much |
|
But Jesus had a plan not known to any man |
|
That would soon take away their pain |
|
They was waiting for Jesus |
|
To come and say |
|
Chorus: |
|
Lazarus, Lazarus, Lazarus Come Forth |
|
When he died he went to where |
|
The saints of God did stay |
|
In the holding place |
|
They lived beyond the tomb |
|
And there he saw Elijah, Moses, Samuel, even Ruth |
|
And all the others jammed up in a room |
|
He turned around and saw |
|
Ol' Gideon standin' by the door |
|
He walked up and said hey brother |
|
What's this group here for |
|
Well Giddie said |
|
Well alright this is testimony night |
|
Have a seat man cause |
|
The meeting is starting soon |
|
While Mary and Martha |
|
Just wanted to see |
|
Chorus: |
|
Lazarus, Lazarus, Lazarus Come Forth |
|
Moses shook his stick |
|
Said now this meeting come to order |
|
Can I get a witness |
|
For the Lord tonight |
|
Abraham kicked it off |
|
Said I want y'all know |
|
That I knew him |
|
He gave a child to my barren wife |
|
Isaac waived his hand said |
|
Hey daddy I knew him too |
|
Jacob jumped up says |
|
Amen Grandpa, preach it |
|
Old dignified Solomon |
|
Adjusted his robe and said |
|
I knew him, He made me so smart |
|
I started to teach it |
|
Ezekiel said I knew him |
|
As a wheel within a wheel |
|
Job said man he healed me |
|
When I was almost dead |
|
Sampson said I knew him |
|
When some Philistines tried to jump me |
|
I took a donkey jawbone and busted a few heads |
|
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego said |
|
We knew him in the fiery furnace |
|
Jonah said man he gave me a second chance |
|
Daniel cried out I knew him |
|
In a hungry den of lions |
|
The Holy Ghost hit King David |
|
He just started to dance |
|
Lazarus got so excited |
|
He shouted Hey I knew him too |
|
Moses put down his stick |
|
Said hey who's the new kid |
|
Needless to say the room got real quiet |
|
When Lazarus said But I knew him |
|
In a way you all never did |
|
You see man I walked with him and talked with him |
|
I saw how his teachings awed the crowds |
|
Those famous tears of compassion I could actually see |
|
He used to come over to my house after church |
|
And my sisters would make him dinner |
|
And every month I even supported his ministry |
|
You see man I watched him confront the Pharisees |
|
I was there when he fed the five thousand |
|
I heard the people gasp when he healed the lame |
|
You see man I even remember the littlest things |
|
The things that most folks would forget |
|
Like the simple, loving way He'd just call my name |
|
Up at the grave stone rolled away |
|
With a loud voice Jesus started to say, Lazarus |
|
You see it just seems like yesterday |
|
I could hear that man saying my name |
|
Lazarus |
|
As a matter of a fact it seemed like today |
|
Lazarus |
|
Excuse me brothers I think I hear him calling me now |
|
Lazarus |
|
Jesus |
|
Lazarus....Jesus |
|
Lazarus....Jesus |
|
Lazarus....Jesus |
|
Lazarus....Hey Jesus |
|
Lazarus, Come Forth |
|
Come Forth, I command you, Come Forth |
|
Jesus said, Lazarus, Lazarus, Lazarus Come Forth |
|
Like he was saying sickness be healed |
|
Mountains be moved |
|
When he said, Lazarus Come Forth |
|
Mary don't weep Martha don't moan |
|
Here come your boy Comin' Forth |
|
He that believeth in me |
|
Though he were dead |
|
Yet shall he live |
