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
