Not Dead Just Sleeping Lyrics

This is what he said to the widow at Nain

There is no need for weeping

This is what he said to the widow at Nain

Your son is in my keeping

And then he went over and he touched the bier

And he told the boy to rise

And her son got up and went to his mom

Right before their very eyes

This is what he said to the little girl's dad

There is no need for weeping

This is what he said to the little girl's dad

She is not dead just sleeping

And then he went in and he took her hand

And he told her to get out of bed

And he gave her back to her parents and said

Make sure that she gets fed

This is what he said to Mary and Martha

Your thoughts are in the wrong direction

This is what he said to Mary and Martha

I am the resurrection

And then he told the men to remove the stone

And he thanked his Father above

And he called him out of the grave

And reunited them all with love

This is what he said when my wife passed on

There is no need for weeping

This is what he said when my wife passed on

She is not dead just sleeping

And when I come back I will bring her with me

And make her body anew

And then I will do the very same thing

In the twinkling of an eye for you
