Lazarus, John (11:1–45)
... meaning God helps, friend of Jesus, whom He raised from dead. Whether believed or not, one has a choice to accept or reject Christ’s power to raise them from spiritual death in a life of sin & rot
Lazarus
As the cheerless towns pass my window
I can see a washed out moon through the fog
And then a voice inside my head
Breaks the analogue And says
"Follow me down to the valley below
You know
Moonlight is bleeding
From out of your soul"
I survived against the will
Of my twisted folk
But in the deafness of my world
The silence broke And said
Follow me down to the valley below
You know
Moonlight is bleeding
From out of your soul
Follow me down to the valley below
You know
Moonlight is bleeding
From out of your soul
My David don't you worry
This cold world is not for you
So rest your head upon me
I have strength to carry you
Ghosts of the twenties rising
Golden summers just holding you
Follow me down to the valley below
You know
Moonlight is bleeding
From out of your soul
Follow me down to the valley below
You know
Moonlight is bleeding
From out of your soul
Come to us Lazarus
It's time for you to go
The Boo Radleys - Lazarus
I must be losing my mind
I keep on trying to find a way out
But it's ok you don't lock the door anymore
I, you know I never go out
And you know that I start to forget things
But it's ok they weren't essential anyway
I, and when I start to look back
I feel like I've spent my whole life just kicking round
And not getting in the way
And now, and maybe now I should change
Because I'm starting to lose all my faith
While those around me are beaten down each day
LAZARUS (LYRICS) - G-EAZY (OFFICIAL LYRICS VIDEO)
Look up here, I'm in Heaven
I've got scars that can't be seen
I've got drama, it can't be stolen
Everybody knows me now
Look up here, man, I'm in danger (I'm in danger, I'm in danger)
I've got nothing left to lose
And I'm so high, it makes my brain whirl
Dropped my cell phone down below
Ain't that just like me?
(Ain't that just like me?)
Ain't that just like me?
By the time I got to New York
Mm, I was living like a king
There, I used up all my money
I was looking for your ass
This way or no way
You know I'll be free
Just that like that bluebird
Oh, ain't that like me?
This way I know it
You know I was free
Just that like that bluebird
Oh, ain't that just like me
Oh, I'll be free
Just like that bluebird
Oh, I'll be free
Ain't that just like me
Look up here, I'm in Heaven, I'm in Heaven, I'm in Heaven
I've got scars that can't be seen (I've got scars)
I've got drama, it can't be stolen (it can't be stolen)
Everybody knows me now (knows me now)
Lazarus! God On My Side Official Music Video
Yeah i don’t even got no stress cause i already know that i got god on my side
I got god on my side
I got god on my side
Aye gang! no need for the glock on my side when the rock on my side, when the rock on my side when i’m walking outside
I be fightin my thoughts. i be rockin the lies. i be servin the rock wit no pride
Sometimes, i still be strugglin. you see the look in my eyes when i’m hooked on a lie
I’m tryna fish for the men not fish for the sin. if i catch it got cut off the line. i gotta cut off my hand if it’s makin mе trip. gotta gouge out my eye if it’s makin mе slip. no pink but i give a jezzy the slip. no rink she ice cold i gotta skate. i walk wit my eyes closed walkin in faith
I’m in the cut and i don’t wanna face time. no i can’t waste time. i gotta be seeking his face
God move me out the way. i’m tryna tell ‘em bout living water but they wanna ride on the wave. they want me to put my heart on ice but i can’t rod on the wave. i see sin trying to give me a slice but i don’t wanna piece of the cake. my god beckon don’t wanna sale like kate
Cunning i go ham like cade. bible a ar i keep a cade. devil try play (but you don’t scare me)
I gotta watch who i keep in my company. following god gotta watch who accompany. i gotta guard all the people that come with me
They say bad company corrupts good character, and i’m still tryna work on my character. so why would i hang around characters that be making me sick like a carrier inside?
But i can’t see it yet. till i’m in the situation and it grow like a chia pet and you see a mess, and i tell god that i repent when i see sin in this season. i let it creep in through the defense. now i’m deep in in some deep sin. i gotta reason not to resent myself for liking the recents or the messages that i resent. ain’t no condemnation in jesus
Tell me what you want, cause i don’t know
Devil you not hard. you don’t scare me
No room in my heart for the sin. i’m moving on
I’m better than this
I’m better than this, so why do i keep going back to the vomit. really the sin had me sick to my stomach. it was some things that i couldn’t even stomach
So i had to throw it up. i’m covered in blood right now, but back then i used to throw it up and i wasn’t even part of nothing. i’m tryna be part of something
Now i’m jigging i’m part of the body. ain’t no swigging, no drink in my body. she wanna dance on the floor like ciara, think that her body a party. she wanna be bad naughty. then get mad when her soul knotted. want me to play tag, not it
I wanna p 31 and i just want our marriage to work out pilates
So i gotta work on myself. so i’m not attracting myself. wait so i’m not attracting someone with the same little habits that’s hurting my health. and i’m tryna stay in my blessings so the devil gon jack like a rabbit from hell. and i’m in the book and i’m reading on luke, when i’m shooting like babbit can’t sell. shout out to sammy he stay out gwinnett, but no i’m not talking cassell. jesus told me to carry a net, so if i’m on the water i sail
Hop in the boat. i know what he wrote. he giving me hope i can’t fail
Tell me what you want, cause i don’t know
CAIN - Rise Up (Lazarus) [Official Music Video]
In the dark and all alone, growing comfortable
Are you too scared to move and walk out of this tomb?
Buried underneath, the lies that you believed
Safe and sound, stuck in the ground
Too lost to be found
You're just asleep and it's time to leave
Come on and rise up, take a breath, you're alive now
Can't you hear the voice of Jesus calling us
Out from the grave like Lazarus
You're brand new, the power of death couldn't hold you
Can't you hear the voice of Jesus calling us
Out from the grave like Lazarus
Rise up, rise up, rise up
Out from the grave like Lazarus
When He said your name, the thing that filled your veins
Was more than blood, it's the kind of love that washes sin away
Now the door is open wide and the stones been rolled aside
The old is gone, the Light has come, so
Come on and rise up, take a breath, you're alive now
Can't you hear the voice of Jesus calling us
Out from the grave like Lazarus
You're brand new, the power of death couldn't hold you
Can't you hear the voice of Jesus calling us
Out from the grave like Lazarus
Rise up (like Lazarus) rise up, rise up
Out from the grave like Lazarus
He's calling us to walk out of the dark
He's giving us new resurrected hearts, oh-whoa
He's calling us to walk out of the dark
He's giving us new resurrected hearts, oh
Come on and rise up, take a breath, you're alive now
Can't you hear the voice of Jesus calling us
Out from the grave like Lazarus
You're brand new, the power of death couldn't hold you
Can't you hear the voice of Jesus calling us
Out from the grave like Lazarus
Rise up (He's calling you out, no) rise up
Get me up from the grave like Lazarus
Rise up (You don't have to stay there)
Rise up (oh, we hear You calling)
Rise up (calling us, calling us)
Out from the grave like Lazarus
GRV presents: LAZARUS | Ultimate Brawl 2018 Friends & Family Night
Boy, I hopped up out the grave, good morning (Woah)

Disbelief like "How he breathin? He was six feet deep!" (Boooy!)

People crying, I'm missing (Uh-huh)
Obituary been written (Uh-huh)
My face pale, they can't tell
Your boy 'bout to be risen (Woah!)
Close the coffin, call the preacher, he's so gone
It's over, can't nobody reach him, say so long
Hey, but hold on, before you cry and run out
'Cause somebody coming saying something yelling: "Come out!"
Wake'em! Wake'em up now!
Wake'em! Wake'em up now!
Wake'em! Wake'em up now!

They got a missing person report and they can't find the body
Let 'em tell the story, I was shot up at a party
Or was I high-speeding on a bike?
Head on to a truck, high speeding through a light
You can tell it any way you like
End story, homie, I was raised up by the Christ
Still dead man walking, Green Mile
Go and check my grave, it's been cleaned out
Now come and look into my eyes, bro
You can see the fire, go and tell 'em I'm alive, bro
Full of power like a wire, bro
God connected to me like some cables and I'm fired up
Dead men don't talk, dead lies aren't truth, dead men don't walk
So what that means for me is that they signed off
On my death warrant, but I was raised before it dried off
Wake'em! Wake'em up now! (Aww!)
Wake'em! Wake'em up now!
Wake'em! Wake'em up now!
Wake'em! Wake'em up now!
Hopped up out the grave, good morning
I been sleeping for too long, I'm yawning
They bury me, black suit, black tie

Hopped up out the grave, Thriller style
They ain't think that He could do it, but He did it now
I mean the Captain, the Almighty Lord (Yeah)
Setting captives free, all aboard (All aboard)
Can't stop Him when He got His mind made up
He don't like that grave, sayonara, see you later (La-later, la-later)

So it's no surprise He can raise us
Wake'em up now!
Believers when your life is lookin' tough now
When you at your all time low
Don't forget that power that He already showed
Who doesn’t need a miracle every single day just to make it through flickering darkness to the next day, like in a perpetual war? This miracle, like radiant peace, not pieces, even though we shatter like frost, helps us tripping disciples know 110% that Jesus is the Savior, the chosen Messiah having power over death, that Jesus is the resurrection and the life. And though the deep, never-ending pain lingers, He transforms our perspective on death, He urges us to live, to go on, to love, to realize the real value of His beating heart in us spreading love, His message, how He sacrificed Himself for all our sins, reminding us that only love conquers death, however much it aches.
Maybe I should accept my fate. Yet what is my fate? You tell me … Dante refused, vowing to redeem himself, he defeated Death while taking his scythe. Dante left the Crusade, sewing a red holy cross-shaped tapestry into his torso, depicting every sin he had committed in the past. During his Hell-Purgatory-Heaven journey, Dante frequently experienced symptoms such as loss of consciousness, hallucinations and fainting, which he related to love and passion, fear and anguish, and mysticism. FYI, NOT HOLLERING, sorry, can’t hear ya, I keep fainting, Beatrice. Ooh, it could be bored love! Or interesting silliness! Who the boring hell interested knows?
Call me Deep Angry Lee, or just Thee Leap, not because I’m not young anymore, but because all of my hole life indignation is aimed at sin, sickness, suffering, and death, and what these ruthless enemies of humanity are doing to ourselves and the very loved ones in this love/hate life, in this crashing mortal plane. I’ve lived it all, both lots of pleasure and pain. I’ve felt it all both in the flesh and spirit, I’ve suffered my fate, I’ve indulged in my will, but I’ve survived. No matter all the scars on the body, on the soul, they’re just meaningful decorations of my faith or lack of it. They’ve defined my life and its worth. My own actions have made me a winner, a loser, a hater, a lover, you name it, only to become who/what I am, Dante, your mysteriously revealed crusader. My enduring pursuit of knowledge is really unprecedented, where I come from, never heard of, I wanna know you baby, I’m full of wonder and longing for the truth. These qualities also make me an exemplary student, don’t they, teacher?
While overwhelmed with sadness and grief, gently and humbly admitting, this agonizing warrior/worryerr somehow sprung into life full of magick, joy and happy tears to love can cry too, Jesus wept, I’m also righteous with rage. I’m fighting and loving mad and furious at these evil powers for hurting all I love deeply. I just somewhat know God is truly touched with the hard feelings of our infirmities, as old age and infirmity come to men and women alike. I may not be 300 Strong Spartans anymore, but I at least put up a hell of a fight. I’ve been Lazarus, giving all my love, my way, the way I can, just imagining heaven, trying to touch the sky, not only with my last hand, but with all the pieces of my big heart. Meaning arousing strong feelings of sympathy, appreciation, and gratitude. Jesus has returned me to ordinary earthly life, to die normally like anybody else, loving you. Lazarus am I … I AM …
