One named Lazarus was sick;
his two sisters feared he�d die.
So to Jesus they sent word,
hoping he would soon come nigh.
But when he received their word,
two more days he did abide.
He said, �This won�t end in death;
rather, I�ll be glorified.
This is for God�s glory great;
through it I�ll be glorified.�
Now when Jesus finally came,
Laz�rus had been dead four days.
Martha went to welcome him,
asking why he�d stayed away.
She said, �Lord, if you�d been here,
my dear brother still would live.
But I know that even now,
all you ask, God will now give.
Though he�s dead, yet still I know,
all you ask, God will now give.�
�Resurrection and the life�
I am both,� Jesus did say.
�He who does believe in me,
he will live beyond the grave.
He who lives, believes in me,
he will ne�er to death succumb.�
Martha said, �You are the Christ;
you�re the one who was to come.
You�re the Christ, the Son of God;
you�re the one who was to come.�
Martha then her sister called;
Mary went to meet the Lord.
When she reached him, knelt in tears,
seeking comfort from his word.
Jesus, deeply moved, did ask,
�Where have you his body laid?�
And he wept when he did see,
for his love was very great.
Jesus wept and shared their grief,
for his love was very great.
Jesus then approached the tomb
�Take away the stone,� he said.
�But,� said Martha, �there�s a stench,
for four days he has been dead.�
Jesus said, �You now will see
God�s great glory�just believe.�
So they took away the stone,
and he prayed, �May they believe;
Father, thank you, you have heard;
may they now in me believe.�
Jesus then did give command;
in a loud voice he did say,
�Laz�rus, come out of the tomb!�
And the dead man did obey.
Both his hands and feet were bound,
and a cloth did hide his face.
�Take the grave clothes; let him go,�
Jesus said to those amazed.
�Said I not, believe and see
God�s great glory in this place?�
Just as Jesus gave new life
to a man when he was dead,
He can do the same for all
who believe what he has said.
For we all in sin are dead;
resurrection life we need.
Jesus died and rose again,
that we might from sin be freed.
All who put their trust in him
will not die but live indeed.
