My Name Is Lazarus Lyrics - Singles - Greater Vision

One day, four men brought a crippled man to Jesus 

Still and lifeless, he lay upon his bed 

He had not moved since he was just a baby 

Still he longed to become a normal man 

Now we don't know much about the men that carried 

The corners of his tattered bed that day 

But if we may create an illustration 

We'll see what these men might have had to say 

Suppose that first man said, "I hate to doubt it 

For Jesus touched my eyes when I was blind 

He made me see and there's no doubt about it 

But this man's needs are more serious than mine" 

Suppose that second man said, "No need to bother 

This man's condition will remain the same 

Though Jesus touched my hand when it was withered 

I don't believe He can heal a man so lame" 

Suppose that third man said, "I hate to question 

But no one here is more skeptical than me 

Though Jesus cleansed me when I was a leper 

This helpless man will never walk, you see" 

Then every eye was turned to the fourth man 

To see how he might criticize and doubt 

But all three men were startled with amazement 

When that fourth man stopped and said his name out loud 

He said, "My name is Lazarus, could I testify? 

My name is Lazarus, it feels good to be alive 

When I in chains of death was bound 

This man named Jesus called me out 

If you think your little problem is too big for Him to solve 

Take it from the one who's heard the mighty voice of God 

A living testimony of His death-defying touch, my name is Lazarus"
