Larry Norman - When The Son Comes Back lyrics

When it's darkness all around it's
Easier to see the light
When it's darkness all around it's
Easier to see the light
But the when Son comes up
It's power destroys the night

When you wake up in the morning
You shake your weary head
When you wake up in the morning
You shake your weary head
You oughta talk to the father
Before you get outa bed

Well, the problem that you have is that

Man is born to trouble
It stays until he dies
Man is born to trouble
It stays until he dies
If he's patient and forgiving it
Reflects in his eyes

Where goes the strength of man
It comes and then it's gone
Where goes the strength of man
It comes and then it's gone
You lay him in the ground
But his spirit lingers on

What is it in your life
That seems so worthwhile
What makes you laugh what makes you smile?

There a special person that
You're leaning toward?
Even if you're alone, you've got the Lord

Well, the problem that we have is that
We don't know what to do
Well, the problem that we have is that
We don't know what to do
We stumble and fall but God
Is gonna get us through

What profit's a man who gains the
World and loses his soul?
What profit's a man who gains the
World and loses his soul?
If he takes nothing with him and
The grave can be so cold

Will you rise up laughing
On the resurrection day?
Will you rise up laughing
On the resurrection day?
Or will you stand at the throne
Wishing you had learned to pray

So listen to these words
These are thing to ponder upon
So listen to these words
These are thing to ponder upon
'Cause you won't hear me singing when
I am dead and gone

How does a man find out why he is here?
How can a man find out why he is here?
Who knows the value of the circles
And can make his meaning clear?

When there's darkness all around you
Reach out toward the light
When there's darkness in the world
People reach out toward the light
When the Son comes back
His power will destroy the night
