By The Porter's Gate

The Porter's Gate, featuring Josh Garrels and Casey J, sings a lament for justice and restoration in 'Daughters of Zion.' The song cries out for God's kingdom to come, asking when the oppressed will be healed and the wicked held accountable. It echoes the biblical cry of 'How long?' while affirming hope that sorrow will pass and God will raise up the downtrodden. The repeated plea for justice to roll down draws from Amos 5:24, and the song ultimately looks forward to the day when the daughters of Zion can rejoice in the house of the Lord.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

When will Your justice roll down? 

When will Your kingdom come? 

And evil be undone? 

When will the wicked kneel? 

And the abused be healed? 

When will our sisters speak 

with no more shame or fear? 


How long? How long? 

When will the daughters of Zion rejoice 

In the house of the Lord? 


Out of miry clay 

We will rise up someday 

Sorrow won't always last 

The dark will surely pass, 

Woe to the wicked ones 

For what their hands have done, 

God is a righteous judge 

And He will raise us up.  


How long? How long? 

When will the daughters of Zion rejoice 

In the house of the Lord? 


Let Your justice roll down 

Let Your justice roll down 

Let Your justice roll down 

Let Your justice roll down 

Let Your justice roll down 

Let Your justice roll down 

Let Your justice roll down 

Let Your justice roll down 

Let Your justice roll down 


How long? How long? 

When will the daughters of Zion rejoice 

In the house of the Lord?
