Lyrics:

(Emory Gordy, Jr.Patty Loveless) Rise up Lazarus Rise up from the dust If in Jesus you believe Then you shall be released Go forth John and Paul Spread the Gospel to them all Give them courage to believe And they shall be released Now Jesus went to Bethany In answer to an urgent plea Two sisters fell down at his feet They began to cry and weep They lead him to their brother's grave Jesus knelt to God and prayed Rise up Lazarus Rise up from the dust If in Jesus you believe Then you shall be released Go forth John and Paul Spread the Gospel to them all Give them courage to believe And they shall be released Now doubters who would not believe Spread the word of what they'd seen Then they began to congregate First two to four then four to eight God watched faithful multiply As they echoed Jesus Cried Rise up Lazarus Rise up from the dust If in Jesus you believe Then you shall be released Go forth John and Paul Spread the Gospel to them all Give them courage to believe And they shall be released Now all us children here on Earth Sometimes doubt worldly worth But if in Jesus you do trust You will rise like Lazarus So if your feelin' down and out Open up your heart and shout Rise up Lazarus Rise up from the dust If in Jesus you believe Then you shall be released Go forth John and Paul Spread the Gospel to them all Give them courage to believe And they shall be released Give them courage to believe And they shall be released
