Four days late
The news came to Jesus, "Please come fast!"
"Lazarus is sick and without your help Lord 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 be alive"
But You're four days late
And all hope is gone
Lord we don't understand why you 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 grave stone was rolled back
Then Jesus cried "Lazarus come forth!"
Then somebody said "He's alive, he's alive!"
We've heard a voice crying in this midnight hour
Saying, Jesus is coming,
To gather together and raise up his own.
Some of us have met Him, and we know it is true
Let's go, get the others,
The Master is come and calleth for you.
You may be fighting, a battle of fear
You 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 He'll call out your name!
The master is here
He's amongst us now
He's broken the seal
And calling your name
He is raising you now
No longer asleep,
But quickened and raised
United with Him
For He's the resurrection and life!
He's always on time!
