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 grave

Oh death where is thy sting

Oh grave where is thy victory

You thought you had a hold on me

But you were wrong I've been set free

Oh 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 say

Oh death where thy sting

Oh grave where is thy victory

You thought you had a hold on me

But you were wrong I've been set free

One day I'll lay this body down

They'll dress me up and put me in the ground

But when Jesus comes in the sky

Just listen close and you'll hear me cry

Oh death where is thy sting

Oh grave where is thy victory

You thought you had a hold on me

But you were wrong I've been set free

Oh death where is thy sting

Oh grave where is thy victory

You thought you had a hold on me

But you were wrong I've been set free
