Lazarus
A man had killed in the city of Bethany
Lazarus was his name
The Bible says he was a friend of Jesus
Her sisters cried in pain
Martha and Mary wanted Jesus to get there
To heal his brother because he loved him so much
But Jesus had a plan far beyond imagination
That would soon end your pain
They just wanted to hear Jesus say
Lazarus, Lazarus, Lazarus come out!
When Lazarus died, he arrived with the saints of the Lord
That they had killed long before the cross
And there he saw Abraham, Samuel, Moses and Elijah
Also Ruth and some others at a meeting
When he looked he saw Gideon standing in the doorway
He approached and said: Hey brother, what are all these people doing here?
Gideon answered him, It is the night of testimony
Sit down because the service is about to begin
Meanwhile, Martha and Mary just wanted to hear Jesus say
Lazarus, Lazarus, Lazarus come out
Moses opened the service and said
Very well, who will start testifying first!
Abraham stood up and said
Your power is tremendous, know that I have known you
He gave a son to my barren wife in age
Isaac stands up and says: Hey daddy
I met him too!
Jacob also stands up and says to Abraham
Amen grandpa, I met him too
For I fought with him and he blessed me
Solomon, very worthy, arranging his robe, says
He made me so wise that I wrote more than three thousand proverbs
Elijah said: I saw him in the chariot of fire
Job stands up and says: He healed me when I was almost dead
Samson said: I met him when some Philistines attacked me
And with the jawbone of a donkey I defeated more than a thousand men
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego said
We met him in the fiery furnace
Jonas said: He gave me a new opportunity Daniel said I met him in a den full of hungry lions
At that moment the Holy Spirit took over King David
And he began to dance with joy and happiness
Lazarus was so moved that he stood up and said
Hey, I met him too, everyone turned to see who it was
And they began to talk among themselves and for a moment there was a deep silence
When Lazarus became emotional and began to speak and said
But I knew him in a very different way than you, listen
I walked with him, I talked with him
I saw your doctrines amaze multitudes
Your tears of compassion I could see them
Many times after the service he came to my house
And my sisters gave him food, I saw him face the Pharisees
I saw him feed almost five thousand people
I remember even the smallest things
Like the loving way that only he knew how to call my name
A large stone was rolled away from the tomb
And Jesus began to say: Lazarus
And you know my brothers, it even seems like it was yesterday that I heard him say
Lazarus, yes, but it seems that today is the day that
I don't know anymore, brothers, forgive me because I believe he is the one calling me now
Lazarus Jesus Lazarus Jesus Lazarus Jesus Oh Lazarus come out
I order you to come out Lazarus Lazarus Lazarus come out
Like when Jesus said I want to be healthy Mar, calm down
So I say Lazarus come out
Mary, don't cry, Martha, don't be sad
Because your brother is already out
He who believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live
