A long time ago, Lazarus died
All hope seemed gone as his sisters cried
Jesus walked to where he laid
He called his name and he came out of the graveOh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory?
you thought you had a hold on me but you were wrong, Ive been set freeOh, jesus hung on a rugged cross, he gave His life for a world once lost
He lay three days in a borrowed grave but when He came out I could hear Him sayOh death, where thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory?
You thought you had a hold on me but you were wrong, Ive been set freeOne day Ill lay this body down, theyll dress me up and put me in the ground
But when Jesus comes in the sky, just listen close and youll hear me cryOh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory?
You thought you had a hold on me but you were wrong, Ive been set freeOh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory?
You thought you had a hold on me but you were wrong, Ive been set free
