Worship and Justice Lyrics

I don't want your money
I don't want your offering
I know you think I'm being funny
But I, I really want you to fix this

I don't want you playing
I don't want you hating
I hope you hear what I am saying
'Cause I really want you to fix this

You can't have worship
You can't have justice
You can't have Jesus
You can't have one without the other

You can't have worship
You can't have justice
You can't have Jesus
You can't have one without the other

There's an open window
Sitting under an open heaven
I told you from the get-go
That I, I really wanted to use you

Don't you get discouraged
And don't you get distracted
Somebody needs you active
'Cause I ('Cause I) this God talking to you, He said
I really wanna use you

'Cause you can't have worship
You can't have justice
You can't have Jesus
You can't have one without the other
(You gotta love your brother)

You can't have worship
(Ooh, you can't, you can't have justice)
You can't have justice
You can't have Jesus
You can't have one without the other

Things won't change
If you don't change
If you don't say
That it cannot stay this way

It won't change
If you don't change
If you don't say

It will not change
If you don't change
If you don't say
That it cannot stay this way

It won't change
If you don't change
If you don't say

You can't have worship
You can't have justice
You can't have Jesus
You can't have one without the other

Open windows and open minds
Scope and time
I provoke divine thoughts through the power of words
Taking divine orders 'cause it's ours to serve
Most of us are good nature like flowers and birds
Courtesy of the great Jehovah
I feel closer to the sun as these days are colder
What I say to soldiers is to never sell your soul for
Anything that ain't for higher purpose or the culture
They say time is ticking, I stopped watching the news
What's bad for your soul is like a rock in your shoes
Stomach knots in the blues, the work don't stop in the pews
We bring church to the blocks and the schools
Hosanna to the highest even when the system try us
Our eyes are on God, resistance in an iris
Praise and worship, songs of freedom hoping Heaven touch us
'Cause when you seek the Kingdom, you're seeking justice

Where there is no justice
No peace
Where there is no justice
No peace
Where there is no justice
No peace

No justice
No peace
No justice
No peace

No justice
No peace
No justice

You can't have worship
You can't have justice
You can't have Jesus
You can't have one without the other

You can't have worship
You can't have justice
You can't have Jesus
You can't have one without the other

You can't have worship
You can't have justice
You can't have Jesus
You can't have one without the other

You gotta love your brother
