Movement 4

JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA

How could he be anyone else, who has this power to heal?
Who else can he be, didn't everyone see, I can't deny what I feel
What if we're wrong? God help us all, reject our King, and Israel will fall
Down to the dust, never to rise, If our Messiah is right before our eyes

NICODEMUS

What condemnation, would fall on our nation, If He's the anointed you fear?
So why do we fight it, if we're wrong let us right it, Is power the thing we hold dеar?
And what if we're wrong? Oh, God what a price
How could wе justify this sacrifice? are we so sure, there must be no doubt
God and His ways are long past finding out

JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA

John was a prophet, not many deny
He said the days of the Kingdom were nigh

NICODEMUS

And He pointed to Jesus, and said He's the one
How can we talk of this plot that's begun?

JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA

What if we're wrong? He makes the blind see

NICODEMUS

We've waited for this, through all history
This is our time, at last it could be

(Together)

If our Messiah is right before our eyes

PHARISEES

If He's just another prophet, we must nip it We must stop it
Soon all Israel will hear Him, just like John we loathe and fear Him

If he wakes him what shall we say, think of something, we’ll make him pay
Forge a plan and let’s stick to it, whatever it takes we’ll do it

He opens eyes and makes the deaf hear, we don’t need a Messiah here
Lazarus four days past dying, there inside the tomb he’s lying

Jesus’ coming, are we ready? We must hold the nation steady
Look He’s weeping why does he care? What’s he sayingOh nolook there!

JESUS

Take away the stone, take away the stone
Father, I thank You, I know that You hear Me, take away the stone

Roll away the stone, roll away the stone
Father, I thank You, I know that You’re in Me, roll away the stone

That they might believe, O, that they might believe
Father, I thank You, I know You hear me, that they might believe

CHOIR

(Can he do it, will he do it, this is where it comes down to it
Does He have the Father’s power, could this be the day and hour
Can he raise a man dead four days, if he does, fall on your knees, praise
God has come to visit us here, no more death, and no more fear)

JESUS Lazarus!!

JESUS and CHOIR

Come forth! Awake you sleeper and arise
Your Maker stands before your eyes
Come forth! Walk out of darkness into light
For all who rise shall know of me, I will set them free

Rejoice! Rejoice! The dust has come to life
I give you glory for your strife
Rejoice! Rejoice! I open wide the door
Now enter in and die no more
Rejoice! Rejoice!

LAZARUS

What is this thing I see before me, is it the light of day?
What is this voice I heard restore me, here in this tomb where I lay
Can it be true, I move, I’m breathing, taking the breath of life
Out of the darkness, yes, I’m leaving, can a man be born twice?

CHOIR

Look at the grave, is something moving, how can this be, what is He proving?
Who could imagine such an hour, No man could have such awesome power
God alone, holds the key to life, it’s God alone
It’s God alone

LAZARUS

Is it my Jesus, was He faithful? Has He remembered me?
Praise to My God, Messiah, Shiloh, He has remembered me!
How could I doubt Him, now I’ll serve Him, Son of God and my friend
Nothing to fear for death is over, living will have no end

CHOIR

Look at the grave, our hearts are waiting, longing for life, anticipating
O, Israel, He’s not a dreamer, Son of the Morning, our Redeemer
Promised One, holds the key to life, the Promised One
Now He has come, He has come
