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\'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.

CHORUS
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
It\'s 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!\'
Then 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,
My friend don\'t be discouraged
Cause He\'s still the same,
He\'ll be right here and He\'ll roll back your stone
and He\'ll call out your name!
