Larry Norman - When He Returns lyrics

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 the war won't cease until He returns?

Surrender your crown on
This blood-stained 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 is unconcerned he's got plans of His own
To set up His throne when He returns
