Lazarus Saturday

April 9, 2022

1. Martha and Mary sent forth a message
   to Christ the Savior, who gives the world life.
   “He whom you love, Lord, is sick and dying.
   Yet we have great faith, you can do all things.”

2. Martha and Mary spoke with such sadness.
   “Lord, you have come late, too late to save him.
   If you had been here while he was living,
   you would have healed him, kept him from dying.”

3. “Lazarus, rise up!” Jesus cried loudly.
   Lazarus rose up, hearing his friend’s voice.
   He stood and came forth, his hands and feet bound.
   All those who saw this had faith in Jesus.
