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 they wondered why

The death watch was over buried four days
Somebody said, He'll soon be here, the Lord is on His way
Martha ran to Him, and then she cried
Lord if You had been here, You could've 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 grave stone was rolled back then Jesus cried
Lazarus come forth and somebody said, 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

When He's four days late and all hope is gone
Lord we don't understand, why You've waited so long
But He's 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

Ooh my God is great
When He's four days late, He's still on time
