They sent for Jesus Your friend's about to die But tarry he still on behind so they laid Lazarus in a tomb And said they're last goodbye Then coming down the road was Jesus right on time. Chorus Just hold on my child, because he's not to far aaway And he knows your need before you pray So when your feet are weary from the mountain you have climbed Look ahead here comes Jesus right on time I've struggled thru life's deserts they were so hot and dry Til it seemed all hope was gone and I would die And I wondered where was he is he still a friend of mine Then coming down the road was Jesus right on time
