A long time ago, in the town of Bethany
A true story occurred and changed the lives of many
Lazarus, a friend of Jesus’ and the brother of Mary and Martha
Was sick and facing death as a serious matter
They sent an urgent message to Jesus but He tarried
When Jesus eventually showed up, for four days, Lazarus had been buried
Upon seeing Him, Martha said “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died”
To that Jesus responded, “Your brother will rise again”
Afterwards, even her sister who once anointed the Lord with the fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair
Came crying because of the time Jesus arrived there
Jesus knew Lazarus’ death can’t be denied
But He chose to bring him back to life and ease everyone’s pain
Before the miracle, however, people cried and alone, in an erroneous manner, wished to be left
Feeling sorry for their unbelief, Jesus wept
Coming to the tomb, Jesus asked them to take away the stone
It was time for Lazarus to leave the world of the dead alone
Here, Jesus asked Martha a timeless question
“Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”
While everyone was still wondering, Jesus lifted His eyes and said
“Father, I thank You that You have heard Me
And I know that You always hear Me
But because of the people who are standing by
I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me”
Then Jesus shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
And to the glory of God, indeed, Lazarus came out
So, Jesus said to them, “free him of the burial wrappings and let him go”
ARE YOU READY TO WATCH YOUR HOPELESSNESS BECOME HAPPINESS?
