Let Justice Roll Down

Woe to you who desire when,
For the Day of the Lord arrives;
It is darkness and not light then,
Of a believer that survives.

Why should have a Day of the Lord?
To the end would it be for you?
When you’re living in one accord,
And your faith is remaining true.

To flee from a lion or bear,
Went in a house and leaned his hand;
A serpent bites causing despair,
Has made him weak and hard to stand.

Is it not the Day of the Lord,
The darkest before it turns light;
If gloom of cloudy skies ignored,
The silver lining will shine bright.

For the Lord despises your feast,
And He has taken no pleasure;
Solemn assemblies has increased,
To false idols that they treasure.

You provide God with offerings,
He will not be accepting them;
Neither will a fattened beast brings,
Nonacceptance He will condemn.

Cast off from God a noisy song,
To the melody of the harps;
Unto His ears does not belong,
Because of their hardening hearts.

Let justice roll down like water,
Righteousness like a mighty stream;
Pure as the virtuous daughter,
A fawner averting blaspheme.
