Four Days Late

The news came to Jesus, please come fast
Lazarus is sick, 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 death watch 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 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 grave stone was rolled back, then Jesus cried
"Lazarus come forth"
Then somebody said, "he's alive, he's alive" (He's alive, he's alive)

You may be fighting a battle of fear
You've cried out to Jesus, "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

When He's four days late, and all hope is gone
Lord, we don't understand why you 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

Oh, my God is great when He's four days late
He's still on time
