When He Returns
Lyrics By Bob Dylan

The iron hand well 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 that gate is narrow that it passes through
He unleashed His power at an unknown hour yeah that no one knew

How long can we listen to the lies of prejudice?
How long can we stay drunk on fear out in this 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 bloodastained ground, take off your mask He sees our deeds, and He knows our needs even before we ask

How long can we falsify, deny what is real?
How long can we hate ourselves for the weakness we 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

Originally released on the '5 Carat Rock' CD, this song written by Bob Dylan (Robert Zimmerman) during his 'come to Jesus" period of his life and career, seemed a perfect song for Sweet Crystal to...crystalize! We decided to re-release it now in support of the fighting spirit of the people in Ukraine - warriors one and all. We will donate all monies paid for this download to the various causes in support of those brave and deserving souls in Ukraine. All we can do is exactly all we should do...so we will. Join us? Sweet, very sweet indeed.
