Four Days Late - just for fun :) Gospel Song

I just found this song in my songbook this week, and I LOVE it!!! I just thought I would share it for fun :) I hope it speaks to your heart :)

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 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, the Jesus cried,
'Lazarus come forth' Then somebody said, '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!
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!

wow this made me cry i used to sing in church until i backslid i just cant find my way back this time i feel like i have done so much that God is tired of wasting his time on me

[HeKeepsMeSingin]

@lindseyann1920071984 - God will never feel like He's wasting time on you! If you turn to Him, no matter what you have done - He will take you back! If He is chastening you, it is because He loves you more than you could ever imagine Rev 3:19 'As many as I LOVE, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.' Read Luke 15 - it is such an encouraging parable of God's love for us!! I will be praying for you!

Wow, You have the voice of an Angel. Beautifully sung. May God Bless You and help you to share your gift and love for him with others. Did you take voice lessons? My daughter is 20 and sings some at church but considering taking voice lessons...Do you have any suggestions?

[HeKeepsMeSingin]

@christ4allofus Thanks so much for your kind comment :) All glory goes to the Lord!! To answer your question, I had voice lessons for about 2 months when I was younger, but the teacher was taking me in a more 'opera- type singing' direction, so I quit those lessons - more recently I've had the oppurtunity to sing for my church which has helped me a LOT as far as practicing and using my voice more - I still have a lot to learn though!

As a christian from my youth until now (50 +) I've done my deeds, but always knew that God loves me, and will never let me go. This rhought has helped me to stay in the faith. Be encouraged. You have a sweet, pure voice. Don't stopped singing

@lindseyann1920071984 Hi. I just wanted to remind you that His arms are big enough to love you no mattr how far away you feel you are from Him. He is the God of the impossible, The God of eternity and the God who exceeds all we could ever ask or imagine. But above all His name IS LOVE. while we were yet sinners He loved us. There is healing in Jesus name and he meets you where you are. Just call out his name. God bless you as you wait on him to do great things for you

[belleavrielle]
