Karen Peck continues, “Four Days Late speaks life to people. There is not a person on the face of the earth that cannot relate to that song. We all have felt that God was late in our life and we prayed and said ‘Lord where are You?’ and we can all give an account and say when it was all said and done the Lord never left – He was always there – that His timing is the best timing of all.” When I asked Karen if she knew the song was special the first time she heard it she smiled and replied, “I didn’t have any idea the first time that I heard it. It was actually Aaron Wilburn, who wrote the song, he was sitting on a stool in Meridian, Mississippi and was playing an acoustic guitar and singing Four Days Late. Oh, I instantly fell in love with the song and when he came off stage I said, ‘Aaron, you have just sung about me’. He said ‘well you need to record it’. Well of course three months later we recorded the song.
“Four Days Late” is one of the classic Southern Gospel songs that will be sung for years to come. The melody and message make this a great song to be sung at all occasions. It still moves people to tears seven years after it’s release. Karen Peck and New River's "Four Days Late" performancetracks, music, and more...

Lyrics to "Four Days Late"Written by Aaron Wilburn Performed by Karen Peck and New River The news came to Jesus, Please come fastLazarus is sick and without your help he will not lastMary and Martha watched their brother dieThey waited for Jesus, He did not come And they wondered why. The death watch was over, Buried four daysSomebody said He'll soon be here, the Lord's on His wayMartha ran to Him and then she criedLord if you had been here You could have healed himHe'd still be alive But You're four days late And all hope is goneLord we don't understand why you've waited so longBut His way is God's way Not yours or mineWhen He's four days late He's still on time Jesus said Martha show me the grave, But she said LordYou don't understand He's been there four daysThe grave stone was rolled back, Then Jesus criedLazarus come forth then somebody saidHe's alive, He's alive But You're four days late And all hope is goneLord we don't understand why you've waited so longBut His way is God's way Not yours or mineWhen He's four days late He's still on time You may be fighting a battle of fearYou've cried to the Lord I need You nowBut he has not appeared. Friend don't be discouragedCause He's still the sameHe'll soon be here He'll roll back the stoneAnd He'll call out your name But You're four days late And all hope is goneLord we don't understand why you've waited so longBut His way is God's way Not yours or mineWhen He's four days late He's still on time
