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
