| To Bethany they're going, four days late Laz'rus, he was having him a snooze Was unhappy, Martha's sad Oh, her brother's in the grave Buried him indeed And he's been there for a while It grieved His heart, see Jesus crying now Used it as a message To all the Jews Come now Mary, no he didn't die Chorus: Oh, oh, oh, Lazarus was real sick Oh, oh, oh, Lazarus was real sick Oh, oh, oh, Lazarus was real sick Now he's fine Well you know, he's now better He arose today Jesus said "Arise, Father I pray" Make it snappy We've got plans "Oh, and won't you roll that stone away" Martha says "We'll go P-U, For by now he surely reeks He's been buried now all of four days" Faith's not good, so she'd whine Then Jesus, said "Lazarus this way!" (chorus) After four days He'd deliver All their hassles went bye-bye Lazarus is showing vigor And God's glory he expounds Because he didn't die (chorus repeat and fade) | |||
