Lazarus is sick and without Your help

And they wondered why

The Lord's on His way."

"Lord, if You had been here, 

                                 E                                        A      

You could have healed him, he'd still be alive."

Lord, we don't  understand why You've waited so long

But His way is God's way, not yours or mine

                        A                                             E   

Now isn't it great, when He's four days late

He's still on time

He's been there four days."         

                                             A                 G 

But the grave stone was rolled back

Then Jesus cried, "Lazarus, come forth!"

But He has not appeared          

                                   Bb            Ab 

Friend don't be discouraged  

                                    Eb  

'Cause He's still the same

                         Bb                                        F    

He'll soon be here, He'll roll back the stone

                                          Bb     

And He'll call out your name 

Chorus 2:

  Edim        F     

Why You've waited so long."

And isn't it great, when He's four days late

He's still on time
