FOUR DAYS LATE LYRICS
Karen Peck & New River
The news came that 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 dead 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 been alive"
Chorus
But Lord, 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 till 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 forward
Then somebody said
"He's alive!, he's alive!"
You may be fighting a battle of fear
You cry to the Lord
"I need you"
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 he's four days late
And all help 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
He's still on time
Oh my God ...
When he's four days late
He's still on time
He's still on time
