Justice (Ascap) |
You met a smooth-talking stranger |
Had Cupid on his arm |
His words went down like fine red wine |
And he won you with his charms |
You loved him and trusted him |
Believed every word he said |
But he lied and he deceived you |
Now someone else is in your bed |
He left you for another |
He betrayed you with a kiss |
But God says in the end |
Just give me justice! |
(Whoa-oh, justice) |
Last night I turned on my TV |
And a preacher said to me |
He said, «Just send me a $ 100 bill |
God will bless you ten times, you see!» |
Some equate money with holiness |
But, my friend, that is a lie |
One man claimed God held him ransom |
If he didn’t have enough, he’d die! |
But my life does not consist |
Of all the things which I possess |
Do you hear God’s call to faithfulness |
And not to success? |
Ah, give me justice! |
(Whoa-oh, justice) |
It’s time for justice! |
They say the church has been silent |
She belongs in politics |
So we turned our eyes to Hollywood |
And we found a president |
Who said he was one of us |
That his life was hid in Jesus' scars |
But it kind of makes you wonder |
When his wife consults the stars |
But God laughs at kings and princes |
And all their foolishness |
And the cross waves higher than the flag |
And they best remember this |
(God loves justice!) |
Ah, He love justice! |
(God loves justice!) |
My Lord, He loves, He wants |
(God loves justice!) |
(God loves justice!) |
Look through your stained-glass windows |
Sitting right outside your church |
There’s a poor man living on the corner |
Not a penny in his purse |
His clothes are torn and tattered |
Got no shoes upon his feet |
Have you shared with him your bread and wine |
Or left him on the street |
To care for the widow and orphan |
Pure religion is this |
When you’ve done it to the least of them |
There is justice! |
Justice! |
See how the faithful cry |
Has become an adulteress |
Her heart is full of worldly ways |
Instead of righteousness |
«When you raise your hands in prayer |
I will hide my eyes from you |
I find no pleasure in your offerings |
When your heart has been untrue |
Take your evil deeds |
Out of my sight! |
Stop doing what is wrong |
And do what is right!" |
Ah, listen to the word of the Lord |
Do not rebel or resist |
For if you harden your heart, you’ll learn |
Ah, there is justice! |
All I want is justice, yeah! |
