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 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 (He's still on time)
 God, it's great, when He's four days late
 He's still on time (He's still on time)
 (On time)
