Lazarus Come Forth

Heartbroken tears falling Martha found Jesus She questioned Why Lazarus had died When she had thus spoken Her doubts where then silenced He walked toward the body and cried Lazarus come forth Awake like the morning Arise with new hope A new life is born Lazarus come forth From death now awaken For Jesus has spoken Death's chains have been broken Lazarus come forth The tomb was now empty Martha stopped crying Her brother now stood by her side The pharasies wondered About what had happened How could one live, who had died? The reason this story Give hope to so many Is although we know we must die Our bodies won't stay there In cold and dark silence We'll here Jesus say from on high Children come forth Awake like the morning Arise with new hope A new life is born Children come forth From death now awaken For Jesus has spoken Death's chains have been broken Children come forth For Jesus has spoken Death's chains have been broken My children come forth Children come forth
