We Are Lazarus

.
Lain long silent in our dark graves,
Jesus has only to speak our names,
And we will stand and come forth.

Unable to wake from death alone,
From Jesus we receive ears to hear,
With only linen vestiges left to bear. 

Into the light of day we come sure,
Where Jesus orders our bonds loosed,
And God’s glory is made manifest.

We are Lazarus.¹
 

John 11:43-44

¹called forth from his tomb, bound
still in his burial linen, Lazarus
came out
