Let Justice Roll

By Sojourn Music

Lyrics

Forgive us Lord for passing by

When children cry for bread

Forbid it, Lord, the justice lie

In tatters, cold and dead

Outside these walls run desperate streets

Where greed is law and life is cheap

We bar the doors

Refuse to see

Or hear the words You said


Let justice roll like a river

Like a river, let it roll

Let justice roll like a river

Like a river, let it roll


Convict us, Lord, we dance and laugh

Ignoring those who weep

Correct us, Lord, our golden calf

Has lulled our hearts to sleep

The gap between the rich and poor

Grows ever wider, shore to shore

There's racial hate, religious war

Wolves among the sheep


Let justice roll like a river

Like a river, let it roll

Let justice roll like a river

Like a river, let it roll

Let justice roll like a river

Like a river, let it roll

Let justice roll like a river

Like a river, let it roll


Indwell us, Lord, and purify

Our hands to work for you

Enlist us, Lord, to serve nearby

And cross the waters too

Your image bearers on the earth

Will never know how much they're worth

Unless we love and help them first

Show the way to you


Let justice roll like a river

Like a river, let it roll

Let justice roll like a river

Like a river, let it roll

Let justice roll like a river

Like a river, let it roll

Let justice roll like a river

Like a river, let it roll


Let it roll

Let it roll

Let it roll

Let it roll


Let justice roll like a river

Like a river, let it roll

Let justice roll like a river

Like a river, let it roll

Let justice roll like a river

Like a river, let it roll

Let justice roll like a river

Like a river, let it roll
