Lyrics

[verse]
Death reached out to Lazarus
and it made an awful sting.
For Martha & Mary;
Lazarus was their everything.
But their sadness turned to laughter
As He called their next of kin.
Jesus raised their brother
and Lazarus lived again.

[chorus]
The sting of death
has passed away
proven in an empty tomb.
There’s no victory in the grave.
No one’s in that awful room.
Behold where Lazarus rested.
The place they lay his head.
He’s alive today
and the sting of death is dead.

[verse]
Jesus cried it’s finished,
then he bowed his head and died.
His work on earth accomplished;
Ol Death’s sting closed his eyes.
Soon his tomb was opened
by an angel that replied
Jesus lives today
and the sting of death has died.
