Right on time

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 ALIVE, he's ALIVE"

You may be fighting a battle of fear
You cry to the Lord
"I need you"
But he's 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

But he's 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 still on time

He's still on time
Oh my God ...When he's four days late
He's still on time He's still on time

I heard this song yesterday and burst out into tears. Then my devotion today touched on this same thing. He isn't running behind, He isn't late, He hasn't forgotten. He knows my tomorrow, He knows my next minute. He knows what is perfect for me, I think I know sometimes...but HIS way is GOD's WAY...not yours or mine! Over the last few days I have felt peace to the point I am doing better emotionally than I have in a while. I am sure the reason for that is Him, all the prayers that have been prayed for me and by me.

I am taking that peace one day at a time!
