Karen Peck & New River performed this amazing gospel song “Four Days Late” that talks about the story of Jesus in the raising of Lazarus from the dead. You can read this story in John chapter 11 to get the whole picture. Yes, Martha told Jesus that He was late and had He come earlier, He could have healed Lazarus. What a beautiful song!!! Watch Karen Peck & New River video performance at Gaither Homecoming Concert live At Saenger Performing Arts Center, New Orleans, LA 2002 below.

The Gaither Vocal Band was founded in the early ’80s by renowned Christian music leader Bill Gaither. GVB became one of America’s leading southern gospel vocal groups. While Bill Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. Today, the Gaither Vocal Band roster is comprised of five power-packed voices, including Bill Gaither, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith.

Four Days Late Lyrics

Song by Karen Peck & 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 deathwatch 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, then Jesus cried
Lazarus come forth, then somebody said
He’s alive, 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 (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 (He’s still on time)
God, it’s great, when He’s four days late
He’s still on time (He’s still on time)
(On time)
