and all its glory like the flower of the field;
the grass withers,
and the flower wilts;
but the word of the Lord remains forever."
This is the word that has been proclaimed to you

The Lord will guard us, as a shepherd guards his flock.

I will turn their mourning into joy,
I will console and gladden them after their sorrows.

The Lord will guard us, as a shepherd guards his flock.

“Lazarus, come out!”
The dead man came out,
tied hand and foot with burial bands, 
and his face was wrapped in a cloth.

Fear, anger, addiction, sinfulness?
In Jesus be untied
