Dead Things

Family is all together, Sisters are crying
 Brother is gone and there's no coming back from dying
 Just imagine the scene,
 That day in Bethany
 Someone said the healers coming, Jesus, Arise
 Martha said "if you'd been here, He'd still be alive!"
 Well Lazarus was gone, four days behind the stone
 But a brother can't stay down when Jesus calls you up!
 When he cries out, the rocks they start rolling,
 When he's near the hopeless start hoping
 I am the resurrection,
 Yeah that's what he said
 And when he speaks, dead things don't stay dead!
 (Backing chorus of "Dead things dont stay dead" repeated)
 Oh no they don't! No, no!
 We've all been bound by graveclothes
 Done our goodbye-ing
 Should've been shut down by the troubles but I'm testifying
 That the devil is a liar, God's promise dont expire
 As bad as it may get, Oh it's not over yet!
 When he cries out, the rocks they start rolling,
 When he's near the hopeless start hoping
 I am the resurrection,
 Yeah that's what he said
 And when he speaks, dead things don't stay dead!
 (Backing chorus of "Dead things dont stay dead" repeated)
 Oh no they don't! No, no!
 Your marriage, your family
 It's not over yet
 Your future, your story
 It's not over yet
 So don't stop your praying
 It's not over yet
 Keep hoping and waiting
 It's not over yet!!
 When he cries out, the rocks they start rolling,
 When he's near the hopeless start hoping
 I am the resurrection,
 Yeah that's what he said
 And when he speaks, dead things don't stay dead!
 Oh no they don't! No, no!
 (Ending)
 (Backing vocals: "Dead things don't say dead" at slower rate)
 Dead things, no they don't stay dead
 Dead things, no they don't stay dead
 Dead things, no they don't stay dead
 Dead things, no they don't stay
 Dead things, no they don't stay dead
 Dead things, no they don't stay dead.
