“Lazarus”
A prayer was prayed when death came ’round,
And life had spattered on the ground;
“O Lord, this situation’s dire
Please here attend, our hearts inspire.“For things have spun out of control –
This scene is lowest of the low;
Show what to do to rectify –
Your friend is here about to die.“Show us what else we have received;
Help ask for it, for we’ve believed
Our name’s on it – help us unpack,
Assemble, get back on our track.“Help us let go of all the rest,
Not be so down – at Thy behest,
May we rise up, respond to You
As You bid us come into view.”Down through the years there’s countless folks
Who’ve prayed such prayers, come under yoke
That’s easy, burden light indeed,
As they’ve confronted dire need.Thanks Lord for this.
