When He Returns Lyrics
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
Like a thief in the night, he'll replace wrong with right
When he returns.
He unreleased 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 ?
He sees your deeds, He knows your needs even before you ask
How long can you falsily 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 return.
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 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.
It's about the second coming of Christ. duh.
I love the bit where he says "Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease Until He returns ?" It's like an answer to all his anti-war songs. in With God on our side he says "if God's on our side then he'll stop the next war" and this is the response, the wars wont stop- yet.
What a line "Of every earthly plan that be known to man, He is unconcerned" So powerful and true 'why do the nation's rage and plot in vain' Psalm 2vs1 Brilliant Bob
