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 'cause 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 (Four days late)

And all hope is gone (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) My God is great

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

(On time) Ooh
