Lazarus

(c)2011 Paul Marxhausen

Step by step and year by year
Everything around me here will go the way of temporary things 
All that once was young and strong is fading  as I  stumble on 
Every power and pride
even life is laid aside 

Chorus
Wait until you call my name like Lazarus
Raise me up to see the light of day
Strip away the rags that wrap around me
Banish all the dust of death away

I just want to see fulfilled Your promises
Everything you made created new
So I will lay me down 
I will lay me down 
I will lay me down 
until I hear the word from you


Sometimes I can't help the feeling
Asking that you come for healing
Wondering if if I'm running out of time
Even when it all seems ended trusting in your arm extended 
Strong enough to save
From my life or from the grave   Chorus

So I will lay me down 
I will lay me down 
I will lay me down 
until I hear the word from you
