This song is about justice. It’s inspired by the Church’s necessary refutation and opposition to racial injustice in America. The chorus and title are from Amos 5.
Verse 1
I met God in the valley
Afraid and alone
He showed me the way
Of amazing grace
Now he calls me his own
He led me up the mountain
My heart all aflame
Turning prayers into praise
When I see his face
I’ll never be the same
Pre-Chorus
Our hearts know the song
Crying “How long?”
In our land bring the change
Chorus
Fall holy rain
Let mercy flow
In Jesus’ name
Let justice roll
Verse 2
The darkness is deep
Jesus come near
On earth as in heaven
Your kingdom forever
Change the atmosphere
We want to see your kingdom
Bring it on down
Healed and redeemed
By Jesus the King
Pour your Spirit out
Bridge
Bring light to the darkness
Bring freedom from fear
Bring justice to captives
Make the whole world hear
