Carman Licciardello - Lazarus, Come Forth

Lyrics:
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
for they loved their boy so much

but JESUS had a plan
not known to any man
that would soon take away
their pain

they was waiting for JESUS to come and say
Lazarus, oh Lazarus
hey 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

and there he saw Elijah, Moses, Samuel, even Ruth
and all the others jammed up in a room

he turned around and saw ol’ Gideon
standing by the door
he walked up, said hey brother
tell me what’s this group here for?

well Giddie said, well alright
this is testimony night
have a seat man
cause the meeting’s starting soon

while Mary and Martha just wanted to see their
Lazarus
oh Lazarus
when will their 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, I want y’all to know that I knew him
HE gave a child to my barren wife

Isaac waved his hand, said h-hey daddy
I knew HIM too

Jacob jumped up says, amen Grandpa!
preach it!

ol’ dignified Solomon, he adjusted his robe, 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”

Samson said “I knew him when some Philistines tried to jump me”
I took a donkey jawbone and busted a few heads

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego says
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, who’s the new kid?”

needless to say, the room got real quiet when Lazarus said
“but I knew HIM in a way that y’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

man, HE used to come over my house after church
and my sisters would make HIM dinner
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, I even remember the littlest things
the things most folks would forget
like the simple loving way
HE just called my name

up at the grave, a stone rolled away
with a loud voice, JESUS started to say

Lazarus
you see fellas, it just seemed like yesterday, I can hear THAT MAN saying

Lazarus
as a matter of a fact, hehe
it seems like today, I don’t…

Lazarus
excuse me brothers, I, I think I hear HIM calling me now
what?

Lazarus
JESUS?

Lazarus
JESUS?

Lazarus
JESUS?
Lazarus
hey JESUS?
Lazarus

come forth! (Lazarus)
come forth! (Lazarus)
I command you! (Lazarus)
come forth! (come forth)

Lazarus
hey, Lazarus (Lazarus)
oh Lazarus (Lazarus)
come forth (come forth)

like JESUS was saying
sickness, be healed!
mountain, be moved! (Lazarus)
when HE said “Lazarus, come forth!” (Lazarus, come forth)

Mary, don’t weep (Lazarus)
Martha, don’t moan (Lazarus)

here come your boy (Lazarus)
coming forth (come forth)

he that believeth in ME
though he were dead, yet shall he live
