"Love for Lazarus"

“Love for Lazarus”



In the icy hand of winter,

a mission far from home

I follow Gods shining stars,

to witness with many angels

in the town of Bethany, to pray!



"If you had come, the one to love

yet not too late, to know his fate

his soul, to fill his mournful heart.

O holy joy, now he would wait

to hear the call, your brief delay.



Impatient with meekness stay

and hear the voice! Jesus wept

his miracle. Lazarus, come see

your sisters, Mary and Martha

sacred grace sufficient for thee.



My slate of stone in place

chipped in words of faith;

the future there for all to see.

I return to heaven with angels

rejoicing the good news there"
