The Bible says [Dm]he was
[D]A m[Em]an that Jesus lov[F#m]ed
[Am]And [D#dim]his sisters thought
It was [Em]a shame
[Am]Mary and Martha longed
For Je[Em]sus healing touch
To come [Am]and raise their brother
Cause they loved [B]that boy so much

[Em]Abra[G]ham [Em]kicked[A] it off

[A]Hey [D]daddy I knew [Em]him too
[G]Jacob [D]jumped up says

[D]Old dig[A]nified Solomon
[C#dim]Adjusted his r[Em]obe [A]and said
I knew [Em]him, [D]He [Em]made me so smart
[G]I sta[C#]rted to [A]teach it[Em]

[G]Job said [Dm]man he [F]healed me
[G]When I was almost [F]dead
[G]Sampson said [F]I knew him

[F]tried to [Dm]jump me[C]
[G]I took a donkey [F]jawbone

Shad[F]rach, Meshach, and Abednego said
We [Eb]knew him in the fiery furnace
[F]Jo nah said man he gave
me a second [Eb]chance
[Em]Daniel [E]cried out I knew him
In [D]a hungry den of lions
The [Em]Holy Ghost [E]hit King David
He just started [D]to dance
Lazarus [C#]got so excited
He shouted Hey I knew him too
Moses put down his stick
Said hey who's the new kid
Needless to say the room
got real quiet
When Lazarus said But I knew him
In a way [Em]you all [Eb]never d[Em]id[Em][F#m]
You see [D]man I [F#m]walked with him
and talked with him
I saw how his teachings awed
the crowds
Those famous tears of compassion
I could actually see
He used to come over to my
house after church
And my sisters would make
him dinner
And every month I even
supported his ministry
You see man I watched
him confront the Pharisees
I was [D]there when he fed the five thousand
[E]I heard the people gasp when
he [F#m]healed the lame
You see man I even remember
the littlest things
[D]The things that most folks would forget
[E]Like the simple,
loving way [F#m]He'd just call [C#]my name
Up at the grave stone rolled away
[Em]With a loud voice Jesus started to [F#m]say,
Lazarus
You see it just seems like yesterday
I could hear that man saying [A]my name
Lazarus
As a matter of a fact it
seemed like today
[B]Lazarus
Excuse me brothers I think I
hear him calling [C#]me now
Lazarus
Jesus
Lazarus……….Jesus
Lazarus……….Jesus
Lazarus……….Jesus
Lazarus……….Hey Jesus
[Em]Lazarus, Come [F#m]Forth
Come [A]Forth, I com[B]mand you,
[C#]Come Forth[F#m]
Jesus said, Lazarus, [A]Lazarus,
[B]Laz[C#]arus Come [F#m]Forth
Like he was saying sickness
be healed
[A]Mountains be moved
When he said, [B]Lazarus [C#]Come Forth[F#m]
Mary don't weep [A]Martha don't moan
[B]Here come you[C#]r boy Comin' For[F#m]th

[Verse 7]
He [F#m]that believeth in me
Though he were dead

[Outro 1]
Yet shall he live
[F#m]
