Let Lazarus Rest
Verse 1
If Jesus Had Had An Ounce Of Compassion, He’d Have Let Poor Lazarus Rest
If Jesus Had Known The Price Of His Passion, He’d Have Played It Close To The Vest
But Mary And Martha Were Crying Like Babies, And Jesus Had To Do His Best
Let Lazarus Rest
Verse 2
Lazarus Was Just A Working Man, He Toiled Every Day Of His Life
He Raised Six Kids And He Paid For His House, And Every Night He Went Home To His Wife
He Never Backed Down And He Never Gave Up, Lazarus Was One Of Us
Let Lazarus Rest
Chorus
Lazarus Finally Found The Peace He Could Never Find On Earth
Jesus Reached His Hand Right Down In The Grave, And Pulled Lazarus Out Of The Dirt
Dust Off Your Shirt, Get Back To Work
Let Lazarus Rest
Verse 3
I Work Building Houses, In The Cold, The Rain, The Heat
I Teach Your Kids And I Drive Your Trucks, Six Days A Week
I Pick Up Your Trash And I Walk The Beat
And I’ve Got Aching Feet
Let Lazarus Rest
Verse 4
That Lucky Old Sun Rolls Across The Sky, Nothing Else To Do All Day
And Up In Heaven They Float On Clouds, Find A Soft Spot To Lay
But I’ve Got Bills To Pay, No Place To Lay
Let Lazarus Rest
Chorus
Lazarus Finally Found The Peace He Could Never Find On Earth
Jesus Reached His Hand Down Into The Grave, And Pulled Lazarus Out Of The Dirt
Dust Off Your Shirt, Get Back To Work
Let Lazarus Rest
If Jesus Had Had An Ounce Of Compassion, He’d Have Let Poor Lazarus Res
