Justice
"Justice"
I pray for justice; O God use me
To work for fairness; And for dignity
Jesus chose to start his public ministry
By reading from Isaiah's prophecy
(he read these words)
Chorus: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
I've come to set the prisoners free
The oppressed will be released from their captivity
And there's good news for those in poverty
Justice and Jubilee
Justice means asking , who's been done wrong
What are the reasons, what can be done
Justice means analyzing systems
Who they serve and why
Whose rights are constantly being denied
Chorus:
Bridge: Justice, Jesus we long for justice (repeat)
Justice is determining what belongs to whom and returing it; returning it
God help us be the voice of the voiceless (2 times)
We pray for justice; O God use us
To stand for fairness; for respect and love
Jesus chose to start his public ministry
By reading from Isaiah's prophecy
