Rise Up Lazarus

(Chours)
 Rise up Lazarus
 Rise up from the dust
 If in Jesus you believe
 Then you shall be released
 Go forth John and Paul
 Spread the Gospel to them all
 Give them courage to believe
 And they shall be released
 Now 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 released
 Go forth John and Paul
 Spread the Gospel to them all
 Give them courage to believe
 And they shall be released
 Now 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 released
 Go forth John and Paul
 Spread the Gospel to them all
 Give them courage to believe
 And they shall be released
 Now 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 released
 Go forth John and Paul
 Spread the Gospel to them all
 Give them courage to believe
 And they shall be released
 Give them courage to believe
 And they shall be released
