Four Days Late 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 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 been 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
And isn't it great
When He's four days late
He's till on time
