When He ReturnsJimmy Scott

[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
