Lyrics
Gimme John 11
Parody of "Gimme All Your Lovin'" performed by ZZ Top and written by Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill & Frank Beard
(John 11:1-44, 14:1-3, 15:14-15)
I've got to have a thought
Of what You've got in store for me
Some kind of favorite spot
I can zoom right in on, read, and repeat
Gimme John 11 — Go to Lazarus' tomb
Gimme John 11 — Don't let us be filled with gloom
That guy was written off
And he came right back from the dead
If I know my stuff
You'll do that with all of Your friends
Gimme John 11 — Oh yeah, Lazarus' tomb
Gimme John 11 — Don't let us be filled with gloom
I vocalized a picture of the work You like to do
You've gotta move in us
And You revive us — who else could?
You're not like Dracula
We're alive with You for good
Gimme John 11 — Oh yeah, Lazarus' tomb
Gimme John 11 — Don't let us be filled with gloom
John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
