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 deathwatch 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’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 gravestone was rolled back, then Jesus cried
Lazarus come forth, then somebody said
He’s alive, he’s alive (he’s alive)
(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 He’ll call out your name (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 (He’s still on time)
God, it’s great, when He’s four days late
He’s still on time (He’s still on time)
(On time)
