(Verse 1)
Heartbroken, tears fallin'
Martha found Jesus
She questioned why Lazarus had died.
When she had thus spoken
Her doubts were then silenced
He walked toward the body and cried.

(Chorus).....
Lazarus, come forth,
Awake like the morning
Arise with new hope,
A new life is born.
Lazarus, come forth,
From death now awaken,
For Jesus has spoken,
Death's chains have been broken
Lazarus, come forth.

(Verse 2)
The tomb now was empty,
Martha stopped crying
Her brother now stood by her side.
The Pharisees wondered
About what had happened,
How could one now live who had died.

(Verse 3)
The reason this story
Gives hope to so many
Is although we know we must die,
Our bodies won't stay there
In cold and dark silence
We'll hear Jesus cry from on high.

(Chorus).....
Children come forth,
Awake like the morning
Arise with new hope,
A new life is born.
Children, come forth,
From death now awaken,
For Jesus has spoken,
Death's chains have been broken
Children, come forth.

(Tag)...
For Jesus has spoken,
Death's chains have been broken
My children, come forth.
