Fun Parody to "Rise and Shine"... Lazarus' Story

(To the tune of “Rise and Shine/Children of the Lord”)

The Lord found out that Lazarus

was sickly, sickly

Lord found out that Lazarus

was sickly, sickly

Had to get there

very quickly, quickly

'Cause love never fails.

He walked, and walked, but Lazarus

still died-y, died-y

Walked, and walked, but Lazarus

still died-y, died-y

Laz was wrapped in

strips of white-y, white-y

But love never fails.

Laz laid in his tomb

for four long days-ys, days-ys

Laid in his tomb

for four long days-ys, days-ys

(Mary thought Jesus was

a little lazys, lazys)

But love never fails.

Jesus came down

and said to roll the stone a-wa-y

Jesus came down

and said to roll the stone a-wa-y,

Martha said, “He's

really stinky, no wa-y!”

But love never fails.

“LAZARUS, COME OUT!” said Jesus,

so loudly, loudly

“LAZARUS, COME OUT!” said Jesus,

so loudly, loudly

Laz came and scared the

entire crowd-y, crowd-y

'Cause love never fails.

Laz was unwrapped,

and Jesus hugged his friend-y, friend-y

Laz was unwrapped,

and Jesus hugged his friend-y, friend-y

Love beats the grave and

Is never end-y, end-y

'Cause love never fails.

So rise, and shine,

and give God the glory, glory

Rise, and shine,

and give God the glory, glory

Rise and shine and

Go tell the story, story:

That love never fails.
