Gotta Serve Somebody: The Gospel Songs of B. Dylan | Full Documentary




The start-up performance "When He Returns":

The iron no match for the iron rodThe strongest wall will crumble and fall to a mighty GodFor all those who have eyes and all those who have earsIt is only he who can reduce me to tearsDon't you cry and don't you die and don't you burnLike a thief in the night, he'll replace wrong with rightWhen he returns
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes throughHe´ll unleash his power at an unknown hour that no one knewHow long can I listen to the lies of prejudiceHow long can I stay drunk on fear out hear in the wildernessCan I cast it aside, all this loyalty and this prideWill I ever learn; that there'll be no peace, that the war won't ceaseUntil he returns
Surrender your crown on this blood stained ground, take off your maskHe sees your deeds, he knows your needs even before you askHow long can you falsify and deny what is realHow long can you hate yourself for the weakness you concealOf every earthly plan that be known to man, he is unconcernedHe's got plans of his own to set up his throneWhen he returns

Songwriter: Bob Dylan (and God)
