LYRICS

Chorus:

Lazarus, poor Lazarus

All covered with those sores

Lazarus, poor Lazarus

Dying at the door

While the rich man drank and ate

He was dying near his plate

But that rich man failed to act that day

V1:

Blessed with great things

Dressed in purple linen

The rich man got blinded by his way

While feasting abundantly

Another ached sorely 

With dogs attending him that day

Chorus:

Lazarus, poor Lazarus

All covered with those sores

Lazarus, poor Lazarus

Dying at the door

While the rich man drank and ate

He was dying near his plate

But that rich man failed to act that day

V2:

When both their time had come

Lazarus made the happy hum

The rich man was sad and blue   

Not sharing what he had

He was selfish; he was mad

He served his wealth and not the Lord

Chorus:

Lazarus, poor Lazarus

All covered with those sores

Lazarus, poor Lazarus

Dying at the door

While the rich man drank and ate

He was dying near his plate

But that rich man failed to act that day

V3:

So in thinking now today

What can we take away?

Serve money or serve our fellow man?

For those who hold will lose

So step in others’ shoes

Give generously and receive it back tenfold

Chorus:

Lazarus, poor Lazarus

All covered with those sores

Lazarus, poor Lazarus

Dying at the door

While the rich man drank and ate

He was dying near his plate

But that rich man failed to act that day

While the rich man drank and ate

He was dying near his plate

But that rich man failed to act that day   

Don’t be that rich man who failed to act that

day
