1.   Martha and Mary they sent for the Lord, our brother is dying they cried,
But Jesus he lingered for three days and more, and poor old Lazarus he died,
"What took you so long Lord? where have you been?
It's too late to save him", they said,
"He's wrapped in his grave clothes there no hope for him",
But Jesus called his name, And Lazarus he came,
and word spread He'd raised him from the dead.

Chorus:
Take off those rags Lazarus Take Off those rags Lazarus
Don't need those rags now Lazarus
You're Alive! You're Alive! You're Alive!

(Music)

2.  Just  like old Lazarus I was dead too. I was paying the wages of sin
But Jesus He called with a voice strong and true
From way down deep inside my soul came alive
He took my hand and gave me life again.

Last Chorus: times 3
Take off those rags Lazarus, Take off those rags, Lazarus
Don't need those rags now, Lazarus
You're Alive ! You're Alive! You're Alive!
