This was so poignantly beautiful, I had to share it. It's a good thought that even when we think everything is over, God can still turn things around.

FOUR DAYS LATE
(C. Aaron Wilburn / Roberta Wilburn)

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 been alive”

But you're, four days late
And all hope is gone
Lord we don’t understand
Why you 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 till 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 alright, he’s alive”

You may be fighting a battle of fear
You cry 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 help is gone
Lord we don’t understand
Why you 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
My God is great!
When he’s four days late
He’s still on time
He’s still on time
