Let justice roll down
Like a mighty river
Let righteousness flow on and on
‘Til the desert becomes
Like the garden of Eden
Where the nations will come and be healed
And the glory of God is revealed
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord
Acknowledge the depths of your sin
And let the ungodly man turn to the Lord
He will have mercy on him
Love one another and learn to forgive
Walk in His marvellous light
Reflect the radiance of God as you live
Blameless and pure in His sight
Open your hearts to the poor and depressed
Let them see the Father in you
Open your ears to the cries of the lost
Then God will listen to you
