[Verse]
I lay dead in the tomb
Cold as the clay
My sisters wept through the dust of the day
The stones held the silence
No voices stirred
Till the call of a man broke the still with a word
[Chorus]
Rise
Oh rise
Lazarus
Rise
Shake off the shadows
Open your eyes
Come out of the dark
Step into the light
Glorify God
In Jesus' might
[Verse 2]
The air was heavy
The mourners still
Hope was buried on that lonely hill
But He called my name
Through death's own veil
And I walked from the grave where all else would fail
[Chorus]
Rise
Oh rise
Lazarus
Rise
Shake off the shadows
Open your eyes
Come out of the dark
Step into the light
Glorify God
In Jesus' might
[Bridge]
Was it the voice of heaven? Was it thunder's roll?
The sound of mercy that ransomed my soul?
No chains could bind
No grave could hold
For the Shepherd had called His lamb to the fold
[Chorus]
Rise
Oh rise
Lazarus
Rise
Shake off the shadows
Open your eyes
Come out of the dark
Step into the light
Glorify God
In Jesus' might
