| Well, we knew Your friend needed You
|
| But You could not be found
|
| It’s sad but true -- though I believe in You
|
| Our brother’s in the ground
|
| Well, You can take six vats of water
|
| And change it into wedding wine
|
| But since You liked him, I’ve got to wonder
|
| Just where’d You go when this one was dyin'?
|
| Our Lord’s in Bethany, baby
|
| Ooh ooh ooh ooh
|
| Our Lord’s in Bethany, baby
|
| Ooh ooh ooh ooh
|
| Don’t confuse this with grumbling now:
|
| You’re later than You think
|
| So what’s the use? |
| This ain’t «The Mummy» now
|
| His grave is gonna stink
|
| Roll that stone? |
| Are You crazy, Lord?
|
| ‘Cause Lazarus -- He’s been gone so long
|
| It’s so hard to wait on You, Lord
|
| I hope You’re not dead wrong, yeah, yeah
|
| Our Lord’s in Bethany, baby
|
| Ooh ooh ooh ooh
|
| Our Lord’s in Bethany, baby
|
| Ooh ooh ooh ooh
|
| LEAD
|
| Roll that stone, all you hangers on!
|
| ‘Cause I’ll admit maybe I was wrong
|
| So long, funeral parlor owner
|
| I know a God that’s strong, yeah, yeah
|
| Our Lord’s in Bethany, baby
|
| Ooh ooh ooh ooh
|
| Our Lord’s in Bethany, baby
|
| Ooh ooh ooh ooh
|
| Our Lord’s in Bethany (Bethany), baby
|
| Ooh ooh ooh ooh
|
| Our Lord’s in Bethany (Bethany), baby
