Lazarus

Out of breath, a permanent condition
Taken by the night
This burning flesh can never find a reason
To breathe in again
He said
Come out!
Come out from your hiding!
And just as you are
Come out from the dark!
Even when the dead man’s sleeping!
Resurrection calls to restore
Even here and now you are one he’s calling for
So take a breath and break the night
Stranger to the light
Wind of God, dig up the grace
Breathe into the slayed!
He’s for sure a permanent solution
Swallowed up the night
A voice so pure giving bones a reason
To breathe in again!
Well, he said
Come out!
Come out from your hiding!
And just as you are
Come out from the dark!
Even when the dead man’s sleeping!
Resurrection calls to restore
Even here and now you are one he’s calling for
So sleep no more!
So take your breath and break the night
Stranger to the light
The wounds of time to… the grace
Came breathing into this life!
Came breathing into this life!
Breathe into this life!
