They Call Me Lazarus

They Call Me Lazarus


You may not recognize me by this name
Though I’m sure you’ll still remember my face
I was once an important part of your life
Until I became sick with sin and I passed away

You prayed in faith that I would return to you again
But the Lord didn’t move on me in your time
He waited until after you had left me for dead
When all the painful memories of me were far behind

Then suddenly one day Jesus spoke to you
He brought those memories of me back from the tomb
He saw a stone covering your heart, and He rolled it away
He said, “Show me the place in your past where he lay”

You see… Satan had buried me in a tomb full of sin
But the Lord found me and brought me back to life again
I’m very much alive today, just in case you didn’t know
Because of prayer, Jesus wept, and then he said
"Loose that man, and let him go”
