Gather in close and draw near to the flame,

For the shadows whisper a secret name!

In the darkness deep the truth takes flight

From the Holy Book, to go haunt the night!

We'll speak of tales where fear resides,

In silent rooms where evil hides!

Of temptations and tombs and ghouls and ghosts;

of a valley filled with a decaying host!

These stories are old and from ancient days;

They hold warnings deep, in a darkened haze!

And for those who seek the whispered remark,

  Hear the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark!

Join us for worship…if you dare!

It’s one of the most well-known tales in all of Scripture—the Raising of Lazarus. But the fact that it is so well-known kind of makes us overlook something...the fact that this would be a full-on terrifying moment to experience! Lazarus is dead for four days…but suddenly his tomb is opened and he walks out—grave clothes and all? It’s the epitome of a scary story!
