JOHN – Lazarus, Come Forth by Bro H

Verse 1 A message came from Bethany, “the one You love is near the grave,” but He stayed still two days more, for a greater sign He came to raise. The sisters wept, the house was filled, the mourners spoke in shadowed breath, and by the time He reached the town, the stone was sealed, the proof was death. Verse 2 Martha met Him on the road, “if You’d been here, he would not die,” He answered not with borrowed hope, but truth no grave can ever hide: “I am resurrection, I am life, he that believes in Me shall live,” not just a promise for the end, but life Himself, the One who gives. Verse 3 Mary fell down at His feet and wept, and all the crowd was moved by pain, Jesus groaned within His spirit, and tears fell down like heavy rain. Then at the tomb He gave command, “take away the stone from here,” Martha said, “Lord, by now he stinks,” but faith was standing very near. Bridge He lifted up His voice to heaven, that they might know who sent Him there, then cried into the sealed grave’s silence, and life came rushing through the air— Chorus Lazarus, come forth, out of the dark and through the stone, Lazarus, come forth, the grave cannot keep what the Lord has known. He is the resurrection and the life, the voice that breaks the night in two, Lazarus, come forth, and let the living God come through. Verse 4 The dead man walked out bound in clothes, and every witness had to choose, some believed and bowed to truth, some ran to those who would refuse. From that day on the rulers planned to put Him down and stop the sign, for fear of losing place and power when all men saw the truth shine bright. Bridge 2 What they meant to silence there became the road to gather home, the scattered children far abroad, through one man’s death to make them one— Final Chorus Lazarus, come forth, out of the dark and through the stone, Lazarus, come forth, the grave cannot keep what the Lord has known. He is the resurrection and the life, the voice that calls His scattered home, Lazarus, come forth, for the Shepherd never leaves His own
