Carman - Lazarus Come Forth lyrics

rate me

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 had a plan not known to any man

That would soon take away their pain

They was waiting for Jesus

To come and say

Chorus:

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

Chorus:

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 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 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
