When He Returns Lyrics - Kevin Max

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
