nicodemus

i met him once, in the darkness of night
and all he said, my heart knew was right
i am convinced, what he told me was true
we must be born anew
deep in that night when i met him alone
that’s when i knew, he was our cornerstone
a teacher from god, but oh so much more
he is the open door

oh, israel oh israel

what should i do, for i surely believe
but my brothers plot, their hearts so deceived
how can they miss the signs hе has done
why can’t they see the son?
joseph of arimathea

i know this too, i’vе suspected a while
he speaks with authority, never with guile
we must convince, must try to persuade
why are they so afraid?

oh, israel oh israel

joseph of arimathea

perhaps he’ll return, for his friend who’s in need

nicodemus

surely so, with the greatest of speed

joseph of arimathea

we must convince, must try to persuade

(both)

til’ the sanhedrin’s swayed
oh, israel oh israel
oh, israel oh israel

mary

lord, if you’d been here, you could have kept alive this brother we held dear
but now, he is gone, and we will never hear his voice again
or see the laughter in his eyes, o why?
but lord, even now, i believe that you can change it all somehow
i know if you ask, it will be given unto you this day
the father hears your voice, so i pray, so i pray

martha

i still remember clearly, now that day, when you came to us, and dined with us
and i was anxious serving you that day, i could not believe, you came to us
what kind of day, what kind of man, why in our home that day?
you honored us, i wanted to be worthy lord, of you, worthy of you
“mary won’t you help me to prepare,” she was listening, to your words
did she realize who we were serving there, that day, on that day

mary

then, lord, you went away, but i could not forget the words you spoke that day
my heart was changed, but as you lingered our brother was slipping away from us, away from us
mary & martha
but lord, even now, we believe that you can change it all somehow, we know
if you ask, it will be given unto you this day, the father hears your voice, so we pray, so we pray

(lord, even now, change it somehow, you have the power, this is your hour
these things we know)

martha
you’ve come too late, our brother’s gone, so now we mourn, and we weep

mary

we’ve laid him there, in a tomb of stone

(together)

oh jesus why, did lazarus die alone?
he died alone

jesus and choir

soon, he will arise and he will wake once again to see morning skies
and i, i am the life he who believes in me shall never die, never die

pharisees

we must stop him, we must shake him, we can’t quit until we break him
lazarus his friend was dying, now inside the tomb he’s lying

we’re the leaders of the nation, we alone can grant salvation
we’re the law, the sons of moses, we’re entrusted with authority

if we let him go we’ll lose it, take him now and we’ll defuse it
we must save our place and nation, we must plan a confrontation now

caiaphas

am i not our leader, upholding our tradition
we are the sanhedrin, i have a proposition
for if we let him go, he will just continue
all of them will follow, just like sheep

now listen to me
he’s coming to the city, there’s talk he’ll raise a dead man
teaching in the temple, they say he’s got a big plan
king of all the jews? he’s getting too much power
all of them will follow, just like sheep

the story ends here, we must win somehow, the story ends here

now here it is
better that this one man, die for all the nation
we keep our position, for future generations
we will not let him go, someone must betray him
one who has pretended, to be his sheep

the story ends here, to this end we vow
the story ends here, we must take him now
the story ends here
