When He Returns

[Verse 1]

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

For all those who have ears

It's only He who can reduce me to tears

Don’t you cry and don’t you die

Don’t you burn

For like a thief in the night

He’ll replace wrong with right

When He returns

[Verse 2]

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 pride?

Will I ever learn

That there’ll be no peace

That the war won’t cease

Until He returns?

[Verse 3]

Surrender your crown on this bloodstained ground

Take off your mask

He sees your deeds, 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 weakness you conceal?

Of every earthly plan

That be known to man

He's unconcerned

He’s got plans of His own

To set up His throne

When He returns

When He returns
