Rise Up Lazarus Lyrics - Patty Loveless

(Chours) 

Rise up Lazarus 

Rise up from the dust 

If in Jesus you believe 

Then you shall be released 

Go forth John and Paul 

Spread the Gospel to them all 

Give them courage to believe 

And they shall be released 

Now Jesus went to Bethany 

In answer to an urgent plea 

Two sisters fell down at his feet 

They began to cry and weep 

They lead him to their brother's grave 

Jesus knelt to God and prayed 

(Chorus) 

Rise up Lazarus 

Rise up from the dust 

If in Jesus you believe 

Then you shall be released 

Go forth John and Paul 

Spread the Gospel to them all 

Give them courage to believe 

And they shall be released 

Now doubters who would not believe 

Spread the word of what they'd seen 

Then they began to congregate 

First two to four then four to eight 

God watched faithful multiply 

As they echoed Jesus Cried 

(Chours) 

Rise up Lazarus 

Rise up from the dust 

If in Jesus you believe 

Then you shall be released 

Go forth John and Paul 

Spread the Gospel to them all 

Give them courage to believe 

And they shall be released 

Now all us children here on Earth 

Sometimes doubt worldly worth 

But if in Jesus you do trust 

You will rise like Lazarus 

So if your feelin' down and out 

Open up your heart and shout 

(Chours) 

Rise up Lazarus 

Rise up from the dust 

If in Jesus you believe 

Then you shall be released 

Go forth John and Paul 

Spread the Gospel to them all 

Give them courage to believe 

And they shall be released 

Give them courage to believe 

And they shall be released
