Carman – Lazarus Come Forth lyrics

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

Mary and Martha longed
For Jesus healing touch
To come and raise their brother
Cause they loved that boy so much
But Jesus has a plan not known to any man
That would soon take away their pain
They were for Jesus
To come and say
Chorus:
Lazarus, Lazarus, Lazarus Come Forth

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
Chorus:
Lazarus, Lazarus, Lazarus Come Forth
Moses shook his stick
Said now this meeting come to order

For the Lord tonight
Abraham kicked it off
Said I want yall know
That I knew him
He gave a child to my barren wife
Isaac waived hi 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
When some Philis
