Lazarus

It's Evening, Jesus
I pray for Lazarus

Lazarus in the grave clothes of dread
Lazarus all wrapped up
Lazarus laid away
Lazarus wanting to live
Lazarus with the family weeping
Lazarus waiting
Lazarus weeping

Remove the stone, Lord, Jesus
Do it again

This time, in our time
Nothing is beyond you

His eyes were closed in death and he could not see
His ears were shut in death and he could not hear
His nose was clogged in death and he could not breath
His lips were sealed in death and he could not speak
His mind was numb in death and he could not think
His heart was stopped in death and he could not feel

And just when they thought it was all over
And too late

You said:
Lazarus....come forth.

Do it again, Jesus.

For the marriage
For the child
For the business
For the friend
For the woman
For the man

Amen
