Four Days Late...

Is it possible to be four days late and still on time???

I'm loving this song by Karen Peck and New River right now.
It's just the right amount of encouragement for those days when God seems to be running just a tad bit late... It reminds me that even when he's four days late (by our standards) he's still on time.

Four Days Late Lyrics

Karen Peck and New River

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 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 then 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

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 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

Trusting Him,
~Bernadine~
