Family is all together, Sisters are crying
Brother is gone and there's no coming back from dying
Just imagine the scene,
That day in Bethany
Someone said the healers coming, Jesus, Arise
Martha said "if you'd been here, He'd still be alive!"
Well Lazarus was gone, four days behind the stone
But a brother can't stay down when Jesus calls you up!
When he cries out, the rocks they start rolling,
When he's near the hopeless start hoping
I am the resurrection,
Yeah that's what he said
And when he speaks, dead things don't stay dead!
(Backing chorus of "Dead things dont stay dead" repeated)
Oh no they don't! No, no!
We've all been bound by graveclothes
Done our goodbye-ing
Should've been shut down by the troubles but I'm testifying
That the devil is a liar, God's promise dont expire
As bad as it may get, Oh it's not over yet!
When he cries out, the rocks they start rolling,
When he's near the hopeless start hoping
I am the resurrection,
Yeah that's what he said
And when he speaks, dead things don't stay dead!
(Backing chorus of "Dead things dont stay dead" repeated)
Oh no they don't! No, no!
Your marriage, your family
It's not over yet
Your future, your story
It's not over yet
So don't stop your praying
It's not over yet
Keep hoping and waiting
It's not over yet!!
When he cries out, the rocks they start rolling,
When he's near the hopeless start hoping
I am the resurrection,
Yeah that's what he said
And when he speaks, dead things don't stay dead!
Oh no they don't! No, no!
(Ending)
(Backing vocals: "Dead things don't say dead" at slower rate)
Dead things, no they don't stay dead
Dead things, no they don't stay dead
Dead things, no they don't stay dead
Dead things, no they don't stay
Dead things, no they don't stay dead
Dead things, no they don't stay dead.
