Lazarus Come Forth
Lyricist:Carman Licciardello
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 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 has a plan not known to any man That would soon take away their pain They were 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 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 shook his 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 to know that I knew him'
He gave a child to my barren wife Issac 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 Philistines tried to jump me' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
'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 he 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
