Lazarus Come Forth Lyrics - Singles - Carman

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" 

"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, whos 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 Hed 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 dont weep, Martha dont moan 

Here come your boy comin forth" 

He that believeth in me 

Though he were dead 

Yet shall he live
