Lazarus
A man had died in the city of Bethany
Lazarus was his name
The Bible says he was a friend of Jesus
His sisters cried in pain
Martha and Mary wanted Jesus to arrive there
To heal their brother because they loved him so
But Jesus had a plan far beyond imagination
That would soon end their pain
They just wanted to hear Jesus say
Lazarus, Lazarus, Lazarus come out
Upon dying, Lazarus arrived with the saints of the Lord
Who had died long before the cross
And there he saw Abraham, Samuel, Moses, and Elijah
Also Ruth and some others in a gathering
Looking around, he saw Gideon standing at the door
Approached and said, hey brother, what's all this people doing here
Gideon replied: It's testimony night
Sit down, the service is about to start
Meanwhile, Martha and Mary just wanted to hear Jesus say
Lazarus, Lazarus, Lazarus come out
Moses opened the service and said
Alright, who will start testifying first!
Abraham stood up and said
His power is tremendous, know how I met him
He gave a son to my barren wife in old age
Isaac stands up and says to Abraham
Amen daddy, I also met him
Jacob also stands up and says 'Abraham
Amen grandpa, I also met him
For I wrestled with him and he blessed me
Solomon very dignified adjusting his robe says
He made me so wise that I wrote over three thousand proverbs
Elijah said: I saw him in a chariot of fire
Job stands up and says: He healed me when I was almost dead
Samson says: I met him when Philistines attacked me
And with a donkey's jawbone I defeated over a thousand men
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego said
We met him in the fiery furnace
Jonah said: He gave me a new chance
Daniel said I met him in a den full of hungry lions
At that moment the Holy Spirit took over King David
And he began to dance with joy and gladness
Lazarus was so moved that he stood up and said
Hey, I also met him, everyone turned to see who it was
And for a moment there was a deep silence
When emotional Lazarus began to speak and said
But I met him in a very different way from you all, listen
I walked with him, talked with him
I saw his teachings amaze crowds
His tears of compassion I could see
Many times after service he came to my house
And my sisters fed him, I saw him confront the Pharisees
I saw him feed nearly five thousand people
And I remember the smallest things
Like the loving way only he knew how to call my name
A large stone moved in front of the tomb
And Jesus began to say: Lazarus
You know my brother, it seems like yesterday I heard your voice
Lazarus, yeah, but it seems like today
I don't know anymore but I believe it's him calling me now
Lazarus... Excuse me brothers, the gathering is very good
But I have to answer his voice
For it's him who's calling me
Lazarus Jesus Lazarus Jesus Lazarus Jesus Oh Lazarus come out
I command you to come out Lazarus Lazarus Lazarus come out
Just as Jesus said I want to be calm sea, be calm
So I say Lazarus come out Mary don't cry, Martha don't be distressed
Because your brother is already out
Whoever believes in me, even though he is dead, will live
