288 - Let Justice Roll like a River
Let justice roll like a river,
and wash all oppression away;
come, O God, and take us, move and shake us,
come now, and make us anew,
that we might live justly like you.
How long shall we wait, O God,
for the day of your mercy to dawn,
the day we beat our swords into plows,
when your peace reigns over the earth?
Hear this, all of you who use the poor
in your thirst of power and riches:
the Lord will turn your laughter to tears,
on the wondrous day of our God.
Even now return to me,
let your hearts be broken and humble,
for I am gracious, gen’rous, and kind;
come and seek the mercies of God.
You have been told the way of life,
the way of justice and peace;
to act justly, to love gently,
and walk humbly with God.
