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 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've waited so long But His way is God's way Not yours or mine 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
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 When He's four days late He's still on time
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
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 When He's four days late He's still on time
