Four Days Late

The news came to Jesus

Please, come fast

Lazarus is sick and without Your help

He will not last

Mary and Martha

Watched their brother die

They waited for Jesus

He did not come

And they wondered why

The deathwatch was over

Buried four days

Somebody said, "He'll soon be here"

The Lord's on his way

Martha ran to Him

And, then she cried

"Lord, if You had been here

You could have healed him, he'd still be alive"

But You're four days late

And, all hope is gone

Lord, we don't understand

Why You've waited so long

But His way is God's way

Not yours or mine

And isn't it great?

When He's four days late, He's still on time

Jesus said, "Martha, show me the grave"

But she said, "Lord

You don't understand

He's been there four days"

The gravestone was rolled back

Then Jesus cried

"Lazarus, come forth"

Then somebody said, "He's alive, He's alive"

(He's alive, He's alive, He's alive)

You may be fighting a battle of fear

You've cried to the Lord, "I need You now"

But He has not appeared

Friend, don't be discouraged

He's still the same

He'll soon be here

He'll roll back the stone

And He'll call out your name

(Call out your name)

When He's four days late

(When He's four days late)

And all hope is gone

(And all hope is gone)

Lord, we don't understand

Why You've waited so long

(Waited so long)

But His way is God's way

Not yours or mine

And isn't it great?

When He's four days late

He's still on time

(He's still on time)

Oh, my God is great

When He's four days late

He's still on time
