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 Hell soon be here
The Lords 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!

CHORUS
But you are four days late and all hope is gone
Lord we don't understand why
Youve waited so long
But His way is Gods way
not yours or mine
And isnt it great
When Hes four days late
Hes still on time.

Jesus said Martha, show me the grave
But she said Lord you dont understand
Hes been there four days!
The grave stone was rolled back,
Then Jesus cried, Lazarus come forth!
Then somebody said Hes ALIVE! Hes ALIVE

CHORUS
But you are four days late and all hope is gone
Lord we don't understand why
Youve waited so long
But His way is Gods way
not yours or mine
And isnt it great
When Hes four days late
Hes still on time.

You may be fighting a battle of fear
Youve cried to the Lord I need you now!
But He has not appeared
friend dont be discouraged
Cause Hes still the same
Hell soon be here and Hell roll back your stone
and Hell call out your name

CHORUS
But you are four days late and all hope is gone
Lord we don't understand why
Youve waited so long
But His way is Gods way
not yours or mine
And isnt it great
When Hes four days late
Hes still on time.
