Lazarus Come Forth

I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE
 HE THAT BELIEVETH IN ME
 THOUGH HE WERE DEAD
 YET SHALL HE LIVE!
 (John 11: 25 KJV)
 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 shis 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 Jesus 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!
 (John 11: 25 KJV)
