[Intro]
| C/G G | G/D D | C/G G | C/G G |

[Verse 1]
C/G       G                G/D   D
 The iron hand it ain't no match
        C/G  G   | C/G G |
For the iron rod
C/G            G         G/D    
 The strongest wall will crumble
          D
 and fall
     C/G    G   | C/G G   G/F#|
To a mighty God
    Em                 G/D        
For all those who have eyes and 
  C              G/D
all those who have ears
Em          G/D          C   
 It is only He who can reduce
G/B    |  D  D6 |  D7  |
 me to tears
C/G        G       G/D       D
 Don't you cry and don't you die
    C/G       G   | C/G G |
And don't you burn
       C/G          G          
Like a thief in the night, He'll 
          G/D        D
replace wrong with right
     C/G  G      | D9 G/D D7 C/D |
When He returns     (TURNAROUND)

[Verse 2]
C/G          G             G/D   
 Truth is an arrow and the gate is 
  D
narrow
        C/G    G       | C/G G |
That it passes through
     C/G         G           Am7 
He unleashed His power at an 
    D
unknown hour
     C/G    G   | C/G  G G/F# |
That no one knew
Em              G/D           C 
 How long can I listen to the 
      D    G
lies of prejudice?
Em                   G/D         
 How long can I stay drunk on 
      C      G/B  |  D  D6 |  D7  |
fear out in the wilderness?
      C/G      G            
Can I cast it aside, all this 
  G/D              D
loyalty and this pride?
       C/G  G    | C/G G |
Will I ever learn
              C/G         G       
That there'll be no peace,   that 
    G/D       D
the war won't cease
      C/G  G      | D9 G/D D7 C/D |
Until He returns?

[Verse 3]
C/G             G             
 Surrender your crown on this 
G/D           D
blood-stained ground
     C/G      G     | C/G G |
Take off your mask
C/G           G         G/D     
 He sees your deeds, He knows 
        D
your needs
       C/G      G     | C/G   G 
Even before you ask
G/F# |

Em               G/D          C 
How long can you falsify and 
       D    G
deny what is real?
Em                G/D            
 How long can you hate yourself 
       C      G/B   |  D  D6 | D7 
for the weakness you conceal?
G/D D C |

[ C ]      C/G  G  G            
  Of every earthly plan that be 
G/D          D
known to man
      C/G  G     | C/G G |
He is unconcerned
         C/G          G          
He's got plans of His own to set 
G/D            D
up His throne
       C/G  G     | C/G G |
When-a He returns
