Faith of Life

John 11:17-32

Jesus is the resurrection and the life,
Our ticket to Heaven far from strife;
He who believes in Him shall not die,
For by walking in faith you glorify.

Though Lazarus laid dead four days,
Made Martha and Mary as dismay;
Since their brother was in a tomb,
Were filled with sadness and gloom.

Their thoughts were if Jesus came,
The brother not as a deceased name;
And Lazarus would be alive instead,
Of stinking up in a tomb laying dead.

But Jesus told them just not to fret,
For Lazarus was not gone as of yet;
He told them that he would rise again,
As He looked towards Heaven, Amen.

Amazingly walking out of the grave,
The life of Lazarus for Jesus to save;
Once again being able to take a breath,
Through faith you will never see death.
