Rise Up Lazarus

(Chours)
Rise up Lazarus
Rise up from the dust
If in Jesus you believe
Then you shall be releasedGo forth John and Paul
Spread the Gospel to them all
Give them courage to believe
And they shall be releasedNow Jesus went to Bethany
In answer to an urgent plea
Two sisters fell down at his feet
They began to cry and weep
They lead him to their brother's grave
Jesus knelt to God and prayed(Chorus)
Rise up Lazarus
Rise up from the dust
If in Jesus you believe
Then you shall be releasedGo forth John and Paul
Spread the Gospel to them all
Give them courage to believe
And they shall be releasedNow doubters who would not believe
Spread the word of what they'd seen
Then they began to congregate
First two to four then four to eight
God watched faithful multiply
As they echoed Jesus Cried(Chours)
Rise up Lazarus
Rise up from the dust
If in Jesus you believe
Then you shall be releasedGo forth John and Paul
Spread the Gospel to them all
Give them courage to believe
And they shall be releasedNow all us children here on Earth
Sometimes doubt worldly worth
But if in Jesus you do trust
You will rise like Lazarus
So if your feelin' down and out
Open up your heart and shout(Chours)
Rise up Lazarus
Rise up from the dust
If in Jesus you believe
Then you shall be releasedGo forth John and Paul
Spread the Gospel to them all
Give them courage to believe
And they shall be releasedGive them courage to believe
And they shall be released
