When He Returns

The iron hand, it ain't no match

For the iron rod

The strongest wall will crumble

And fall to a mighty God

For all those who have eyes

And all those who have ears

It is only He who can reduce me to tears

Don't you cry and don't you die

And don't you burn

For like a thief in the night

He'll replace wrong with right

When He returns

Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow

That it passes through

He unleashed His power at an unknown hour

That no one knew

How long can I listen to

The lies of prejudice?

How long can I stay drunk on fear

Out in the wilderness?

Can I cast it aside

All this loyalty and this pride?

Will I ever learn

That there'll be no peace

That these war won't cease

Until He returns?

Surrender your crown on this blood-stained ground

Take off all your masks

You know He seals your deeds and He knows your needs

Even before you ask

How long can you falsify

And deny what is real?

How long can you hate yourself

For the weaknesses you conceal?

Of every earthly plan

That be known to man

He is unconcerned

He's got plans of His own

To set up His throne

When He returns

When He returns

When He returns
