[Verse 1]
B
One day, four men brought a crippled man to Jesus
B F# B
Still and lifeless, he lay upon his bed
B
He had not moved since he was just a baby
B F# B
Still he longed to become a normal man
[Verse 2]
C
Now we don't know much about the men that carried
C G C
The corners of his tattered bed that day
C
But if we may create an illustration
C G C
We'll see what these men might have had to say
[Verse 3]
Db
Suppose that first man said, "I hate to doubt it
Db Ab Db
For Jesus touched my eyes when I was blind
Db
He made me see and there's no doubt about it
Db Ab Db
But this man's needs are more serious than mine"
[Verse 4]
D
Suppose that second man said, "No need to bother
D A D
This man's condition will remain the same
D
Though Jesus touched my hand when it was withered
D A D
I don't believe He can heal a man so lame"
[Verse 5]
Eb
Suppose that third man said, "I hate to question
Eb Bb Eb
But no one here is more skeptical than me
Eb
Though Jesus cleansed me when I was a leper
Eb Bb Eb
This helpless man will never walk, you see"
[Verse 6]
E
Then every eye was turned to the fourth man
E B E
To see how he might criticize and doubt
E
But all three men were startled with amazement
E B E
When that fourth man stopped and said his name out loud
[Chorus]
A
He said, "My name is Lazarus, could I testify?
E
My name is Lazarus, it feels good to be alive
A
When I in chains of death was bound
B
This man named Jesus called me out
E
If you think your little problem is too big for Him to solve
A E
Take it from the one who's heard the mighty voice of God
A B E C# F# B E
A living testimony of His death-defying touch, my name is Lazarus"
[Outro]
A
He said, "My name is Lazarus, could I testify?
E
My name is Lazarus, it feels good to be alive
A
When I in chains of death was bound
B
This man named Jesus called me out
E
If you think your little problem is too big for Him to solve
A E
Take it from the one who's heard the mighty voice of God
A B E C# F# B E
A living testimony of His death-defying touch, my name is Lazarus"
