🎶 Song 168 – Lazarus Rising

Paper 168 – The Resurrection of Lazarus 🎶 Song: Lazarus Rising (Verse 1 – Martha's Father's) Four days beneath the silent stone, Bethany wept and grieved alone, Martha searched beyond her pain, Trusting life would rise again. Mary's tears fell to the ground, Mourning hearts gathered around, Yet a deeper purpose moved unseen, Beyond the shadows in between. (Pre-Chorus – At the Tomb) When hope seemed lost in the grave below, A greater light began to show. (Chorus – Lazarus Rising) Lazarus, rise and walk into the day, Leave the night and roll the fear away. Love is stronger than the silent tomb, Life can blossom where death once bloomed. Lazarus, hear the living call, The Father's love is over all. (Verse 2 – Hardened Hearts) Some believed what they had seen, Some chose power in between, Hearts can harden, eyes can close, Even when the truth arose. The rulers feared the changing tide, Holding to their fear and pride, Yet no decree of mortal hand Could stop the workings of God's plan. (Bridge – The Answer to Prayer) Beyond the years, beyond the dust, Beyond the limits of our trust, The soul awakes to greater light, Morning follows every night. (Final Chorus – The Ressurrection and the Life) Lazarus, rise and walk into the day, Leave the night and roll the fear away. Love is stronger than the silent tomb, Life can blossom where death once bloomed. Lazarus, hear the living call, The Father's love is over all. (Outro – The Living Witness) In Bethany the lesson stays, A light that shines through all our days, Death is only a passing door, And life goes on forevermore.
