Jesus had a real good friend
Did Jesus let His good friend down?
Lazarus was deathly ill
Yet Christ delayed His trip to town
Four days later He viewed Bethany
When everyone was distraught
He told Martha, ‘believe in Me’
Faith is what He taught
Yet Jesus did mourn for His friend
Jesus utterly cried
Some people recognized the love
They remained there by His side
Jesus said to roll away the stone
But Martha said it would stink
Jesus did not relent at all
A miracle was on the brink
That carved rock was rolled away
Did the tomb air start to swirl?
Jesus prayed to His holy Father
The One who sent Him into the whirl
Then in a loud voice, Jesus said,
‘Lazarus come right out!’
Lazarus was raised from the dead
Freed from death’s cruel clout
