Built directly on Micah's answer to the question of what God requires, this worship song turns a familiar prophetic verse into a congregational refrain: do justice, love mercy, walk humbly. The opening verses frame worship as listening rather than merely singing — God has heard the songs and the longing, and now names the offering he actually desires. The second verse widens the frame from personal devotion to public concern, as the singer asks God to open ears to the cries of the poor and to make the church his hands and feet. A bridge names specific neighbors — the oppressed, the broken, the widow, the orphan — and prays for a river of justice to flow through the gathered community. The repeated chorus keeps returning to the same threefold call, so the song works less like a reflection and more like a commitment being made out loud, week after week. Its plain, singable structure makes it useful for services that want to connect worship with mercy and advocacy rather than treat them as separate compartments.
