We hear Your voice so clearly
We hear You calling out
For us to reach this city
To tear these walls down
We see the desperate people
We hear them crying out
The weary and the hurting
The weak and broken down
Oh hear us now
Let Your justice roll like rivers deep
Let Your mercy flow like healing streams
Let Your righteousness pour from Your throne
Let justice roll, let justice roll
It brings life everlasting
Gives beauty for our scars
Replaces fear with courage
Chases away the dark
Transforming what was hopeless into victory
It makes the lame start dancing
It sets the prisoners free
Oh hear them sing
Let justice roll, let it roll through me
Let mercy flow, let it flow through me
Let righteousness, let it pour through me
Let justice roll, let justice roll
