Justice Will Roll Down by John Lyzenga Lyrics

Justice will roll down
Like consuming waters
Flooding all oppression
To restore the poor
Breaking at the dams
Of a biased system
Built upon the shoulders
Of an enslaved race

Seek God’s righteous justice
Seek the captive’s freedom
Seek the helpless defense
Seek equality

High rises on Wall Street
Will be soon dismantled
Repurposed to house the
Homeless and displaced
How we crush the weak
Just to make a profit
Taking away healthcare
Taking away rights
Seek God’s righteous justice
Seek our neighbor’s welfare
Seek God’s holy kin-dom
Seek community

How we pursue greatness
Using war and violence
Honoring our country
Forgetting our past
Stop this barren praise
Stop these lavish concerts
See the disconnect from
Practice and belief

Seek God’s righteous justice
Seek God’s grace and mercy
Seek healing and stand in solidarity
