Juanita Du Plessis – Four Days Late lyrics

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 be soon be here
The Lord’s on his way
Martha ran to Him and then she cried
Lord if You have been here
You could have healed him
He’d be still alive

But your 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 grave stone was rolled back
Then Jesus cried
Lazarus come forth and 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
He’s still the same
He’ll be 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

My god is great
When He’s four days late
He’s still on time
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 be soon be here
The Lord’s on his way
Martha ran to Him and then she cried
Lord if You have been here
You could have healed him
He’d be still alive

But your 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 grave stone was rolled back
Then Jesus cried
Lazarus come forth and 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
He’s still the same
He’ll be 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

My god is great
When He’s four days late
He’s still on time
