Wake up Lazarus Jesus got something ta say to you
Your funeral's over but you really should come back - it's cool
I know you're deep in the tomb
But I believe you'll be leavin' soon
And Jesus He stood and just cried when He saw
He said roll away the stone
‘Cause He didn't wanta see ‘im gone
You know his power and that stuff really works

We're mournin' some ‘cause it's been 4 days since we closed your grave
That don't worry Him none - you see Christ can do everything
But after somebody dies
Can Jesus really make ‘im rise?
Oh Lazarus shouldn't have died anyhow
He said roll away the stone
Just to save us from bein' alone
He rolled the stone and now (?) brother you come out

Our Lord Jesus was your friend so when we called for Him
Well we told Him ‘bout you brother but something must have happened - He's 4 days late
Tried to tell Him that you're dead
And then the Lord He only shakes His head
Oh Lazzie I couldn't have tried any more
He said roll away the stone
‘Cause he didn't wanta see ya gone
I don't know how but I trust Him anyway

I suppose you'd resurrect someday when all the others do
But Jesus says that you will be a-livin' when He calls for you
They finally got the rock a-rolled back
They're helping you unwrap
Oh Lazzie I thought I'd never see your face
He made a faithless fool out of me
‘Cause you're alive as any fool can see
You look so good I can't believe you ever died
