When He Returns
He said when I must take it, I will take it all
Ending with fire all sinners must fall
The righteous, they will be taken by soul
Eternally free and finally whole
The sick men that cry but still worshipped my name
I'll take you back into the arms from which you came
Everything that lives surely must die
To be sent to the place
Where only the holy sit high
