Pastor Josh concluded the “Miracles” series today
Referring to “one story, many verses”, he did say
About Lazarus, John chapter eleven does relate
He was ill and then an early death was his fate
Lazarus was the brother of Martha and Mary
To see him so ill would have been quite scary
Jesus was alerted to his condition in verse four
He cared for them but waiting would mean more
To Judea he ventured when the time was right
Despite Jewish opposition, Jesus had no fright
Thomas told the others to follow in verse sixteen
Even if death with Jesus was what it would mean
Lazarus had been in a tomb for four long days
Mary and Martha were in mourning, John says
Martha was focused on her pain and bother
Per Greek, Mary’s prayer was for her brother
Jesus was troubled and wept, per verse thirty five
But in response to our prayer, Jesus can thrive
Josh reached into his 80s playlist for Vanilla Ice
If there’s a problem, yo Jesus can solve it - nice
Jesus asked the crowd to roll away the stone
For a miracle they were about to be shown
Removing the stone represents seeking truth
That this leads to stench doesn’t require a sleuth
Lazarus come forth” Jesus said in a loud voice
Thanking God so that the people would rejoice
To bring dead people alive, Jesus came to earth
This can result in physical and/or spiritual rebirth
