Lázaro Vem Pra Fora

A message was sent early in the morning when it dawned
The news spread throughout the city, what happened?
The letter said: My Lord, do not delay coming
The friend you love so much may not be able to resist

In Bethany, a commotion suddenly began to arise
The certainty of miracles was already there
At the end of great hope
The answer that finally did not come
What remains for the whole city is only pain

Martha and Mary: What happened? Wasn't he your friend?
Why didn't he answer you?
Martha and Mary: He didn't arrive
It's possible he heard
But didn't care

It was He who arrived, took his time
Had lunch at your table
It was He who made all of you sit down to
Hear his words and talk at the table
And where is He? At the most needed time, where is He?

Suddenly in that village, a crowd begins to arrive
Emotion invades faces and everyone starts to shout
Martha: Look who arrived now
Martha: He didn't believe
Martha: How considerate!
For someone who claimed to be a friend of your brother

After we buried him, after four days
After his body is decomposing
He arrives with talk of resurrection

Why didn't he come earlier, while still alive?
Why such delay for a special case?
Martha dismisses your friend, Martha now it's impossible

My Lord, why did you
Take so long to arrive? If you
Had come in time, my brother wouldn't have died
Martha: Your brother will rise again!
Yes, Lord, I know, on the last day's resurrection
Martha: If you believe, you will see God's glory!

Tell me where you put him
My time has come, I will act
I don't care how much time has passed
The final word is mine, I am God

Remove that stone, I will act
I will perform a miracle here today
And glory will fill this place

Remove that stone and see the power
See what God can do
Just move the stone for the miracle to happen

Remove that stone that protects the tomb
That stone that hinders your healing
This stone that causes you so much pain
That increases your fear
That causes you afflictions

Remove this stone that obstructs your path
This stone, this great hindrance
I will call now
Lazarus come out
