| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
