When He's four days late and all hope is gone......then rest of chorus.
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 Not your's 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 gravestone 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 Friend don't be discouraged
'Cause He's still the same He'll soon be here
He'll roll back the stone And call out your name.
