Friends I've lied more times than I've been caught And too many times I take more than I give And when I want my way the way I want I'm hopeless Everyday I have to die so I can live Sometimes I get angry I just scream and yell I think I'd rather just go to Hell But when I finally shed my pride And let the Holy Spirit reach me from the inside I rise up like Lazarus in John 11 I throw out my grave clothes Put on the armor of the Lord I rise up like Lazarus Dry all the tears Mary cried When I fall on my knees I rise Oh sometimes I want to sing along When the crow sings her nasty song Like Mary and Martha "Please don't let our brother die" But how quickly I forget the story The painful day before God's glory was revealed When Jesus cried
I rise up like Lazarus in John 11 Throw out my grave clothes Put on the armor of the Lord I rise up like Lazarus Dry all the tears Mary cried When I fall on my knees I rise So let the grace of God wash over me all my days As long as skin and bone hold onto me 'Cause Lord I know till the day You free me from my sin Your love will take me in Just as I am not as I should be So I rise up like Lazarus in John 11 Oh, I throw out my grave clothes Put on the armor of the Lord I rise up like Lazarus Dry all the tears Mary cried When I fall on my knees I , oh rise I rise up like Lazarus in John 11 Oh, I throw out my grave clothes Put on the armor of the Lord I rise up like Lazarus Dry all the tears Mary cried When I fall on my knees I rise
