He came to Bethany that day 
He heard the news but then delayed 
His good friend sick in bed did lay
He waited several days 

Then He heard His friend was dead
He then did go to see His friend 
He knew what God would do ahead 
His perfect plan was laid

The sisters of His friend did weep
They knew their brother did not sleep
They laid him in a tomb to keep 
And rolled a stone to seal

They met Jesus on the way 
If you had been here he'd be safe
They wept as they showed Him the place 
Where the tomb was sealed

Jesus wept then raised His eyes 
He prayed that God be glorified 
He looked the men right in the eye
Now roll away that stone

When it was moved He made a cry
Lazarus come forth to life
The dead came forth with head held high
Unwrap him and go home

A few days later Christ was dead
His borrowed tomb was sealed in dread
A stone slab had become His bed
But He had other plans

An angel came and rolled the stone
Jesus came forth to gain His throne
Death was defeated, sin atoned
Now on His word we stand
