A long time ago, Lazarus died
All hope seemed gone as his sisters cried
And Jesus walked to where he lay
He called his name and he came out of the grave

Oh death, where is thy sting?
Oh grave, where is thy victory?
You thought you had a hold on me
But you were wrong, I've been set free

Jesus hung on a rugged cross
He gave His life for a world that was lost
He lay three days in a borrowed grave
But when He came out I could hear Him say

Oh death, where is thy sting?
Oh grave, where is thy victory?
You thought you had a hold on me
(From: http://www.elyrics.net)
But you were wrong, I've been set free

[Break - fiddle]

One day I'll lay this body down
They'll dress me up and put me in the ground
But when Jesus comes in the sky
Just listen close and you'll hear me cry

Oh death, where is thy sting?
Oh grave, where is thy victory?
You thought you had a hold on me
But you were wrong, I've been set free

Oh death, where is thy sting?
Oh grave, where is thy victory?
You thought you had a hold on me
But you were wrong, I've been set free
