Lyrics

Refrain
I am the resurrection and the life;
those who believe in me,
even if they die, will live.
1. Led to the tomb of Lazarus,
the Lord of creation wept.
"Could not the one who cured the blind
have kept his friend from death?"
2. Out of the depths we cry to God,
"If only you had been here."
But see in Christ God with us now
to bear our griefs and tears.
3. Out of the tomb steps Lazarus,
called forth by the Lord of light;
so may we heed your voice, O Lord,
and follow you to life.
4. Out of the darkness, call us
into the light of day.
Free us from what binds us, Lord,
and we shall sing your praise.
5. "From your graves I shall raise you up
and bring you back," says the Lord.
"My Spirit I shall place in you,
your life I shall restore.”
6. Here in our world of violence,
where putting to death means might,
God raises up a diff'rent sign:
true power brings to life.
