Bethany
Whoa oh oh oh
Well, we knew Your friend needed You
But You could not be found
It's sad but true -- though I believe in You
Our brother's in the ground
Well, You can take six vats of water
And change it into wedding wine
But since You liked him, I've got to wonder
Just where'd You go when this one was dyin'?
Our Lord's in Bethany, baby
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Our Lord's in Bethany, baby
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Don't confuse this with grumbling now:
You're later than You think
So what's the use? This ain't "The Mummy" now
His grave is gonna stink
Roll that stone? Are You crazy, Lord?
‘Cause Lazarus -- He's been gone so long
It's so hard to wait on You, Lord
I hope You're not dead wrong, yeah, yeah
Our Lord's in Bethany, baby
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Our Lord's in Bethany, baby
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
LEAD
Roll that stone, all you hangers on!
‘Cause I'll admit maybe I was wrong
So long, funeral parlor owner
I know a God that's strong, yeah, yeah
Our Lord's in Bethany, baby
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Our Lord's in Bethany, baby
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Our Lord's in Bethany (Bethany), baby
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Our Lord's in Bethany (Bethany), baby
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Our Lord's in Bethany -- baby
