Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hear the sound of an army waking
I feel the ground under my feet shaking
Let justice roll like a river
Let justice roll like a river

We're your hands, we're your feet, your people
Love good and hate what's evil
Let justice roll like a river, let justice roll

We shout, shout for Your kingdom come
Shout, shout and the walls fall down
Our God be praised, whoa oh oh oh
We shout, shout to the ends of the earth
Shout, shout until You return
Our God be praised, whoa oh oh oh

You're the friend of the ones forgotten
You fight the cause of the weak and broken
Let justice roll like a river,
Let justice roll like a river, let justice roll

We shout, shout for Your kingdom come
Shout, shout and the walls fall down
Our God be praised, whoa oh oh oh
We shout, shout to the ends of the earth
Shout, shout until You return
Our God be praised, whoa oh oh oh

Someone's gonna dance for the first time
Hear the music, hear the music
Someone's gonna find their healing
Hear the music, hear the music
Someone's gonna dance for the first time
Hear the music, hear the music
Someone's gonna run to freedom
Hear the music, here it comes

Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh

We shout, shout for Your kingdom come
Shout, shout and the walls fall down
Our God be praised, whoa oh oh oh
We shout, shout to the ends of the earth
