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
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
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 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 fightin'
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 he'll call out your name
When he's 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 still on time
Oh my God is great
when he's four days late
He's still on time
On time
