Let Justice Roll
Harmony of Hope: Embracing Love, Peace, and Justice in 'Let Justice Roll'
Lyrics
A day will come when war will be no more
A future day is anticipated when there will be no more war.
The sickness in our hearts it will be cured
The emotional and spiritual ailments in our hearts will be healed.
We'll gather at the streams of mercy
A vision of people gathering at places of mercy.
And put our weapons down
Symbolic gesture of unity as weapons are laid down.
Together we'll behold Your glory
Collectively witnessing the glory of a hopeful future.
Where hope is found
This hopeful future is where hope itself is found.
So let justice roll down like a river
Advocacy for justice to flow abundantly, like a river.
His righteousness an ever-flowing stream
Connecting the concept of justice with an ever-flowing stream of righteousness.
Let justice roll on like a river
Reiteration of the call for justice to flow like a river.
His righteousness an ever-flowing stream
Reemphasizing the perpetual nature of righteous justice.
When the nations come ev'ry tribe and tongue
Envisioning a time when nations and diverse people unite, overcoming hate.
Hand in hand as one hate will be undone
Unity depicted as people from every tribe and tongue joining hands.
As freedom marches on our banner will be love
Freedom is symbolized by a march where love becomes the guiding principle.
And then the world will see and feel His healing come
The outcome is a world experiencing healing from divine forces.
So let justice roll down like a river
Reiteration of the plea for justice to flow abundantly.
His righteousness an ever-flowing stream
Linking justice with a constant, unending stream of righteousness.
Let justice roll on like a river
Repetition of the call for justice to flow like an ever-moving river.
His righteousness an ever-flowing stream
Stressing the perpetual nature of righteous justice yet again.
There will be a day when love has its way
An envisioned future day where love prevails.
There will be a place where peace can stand
Anticipation of a place where peace can firmly exist.
There will be a day when love has its way
Repetition of the expectation for a day when love triumphs.
There will be a place where peace can stand
Repetition of the idea of a place where peace can stand.
So let justice roll down like a river
Reiteration of the plea for justice to flow abundantly.
His righteousness an ever-flowing stream
Connecting justice with an ever-flowing stream of righteousness.
Let justice roll on like a river
Repetition of the call for justice to flow like a river.
His righteousness an ever-flowing stream
Stressing the perpetual nature of righteous justice yet again.
A day will come when war will be no more
A reminder of the anticipated day when war will cease.
The sickness in our hearts it will be cured
The expectation that the internal struggles within our hearts will be healed.
