Let Justice Fall Like Gentle Rain

[Intro - Piano; concert flute] [Verse 1 - Bubba, male solo] Give the king Your righteous judgment, Give his son the wisdom too; Let him hear the poor man's pleading, Let him judge the people true. Let the hills bear peace in justice, Let the needy children live; Break the power of their oppressor, Let the helpless find relief. [Chorus - Duet] Let justice fall like gentle rain On the newly cut-down field; Let the righteous grow in gladness, Let the wounds of violence heal. From the river to the farthest shore, Let the nations see what's right; May the poor man's life be precious, May the land be filled with light. [Verse 2 - Darlene, female solo] Let him rescue those who call him, Those with none to hear their cries; Let him ransom lives from violence, Precious blood before his eyes. May the kings bring gifts before him, May the nations call him blessed; May his name endure with sunlight, May the hungry land find rest. [Instrumental Break - Tenor sax; gospel piano] [Bridge - Duet and choir] Grain upon the mountain ridges, Cities flourishing like grass; Daily prayer for righteous keeping, Peace as long as moonlight lasts. Bless the God who works the wonders, Bless His name forevermore; Let His glory fill the whole earth, Every land and every shore. [Final Chorus - Duet and choir] Let justice fall like gentle rain On the newly cut-down field; Let the righteous grow in gladness, Let the wounds of violence heal. From the river to the farthest shore, Let the nations see what's right; May the poor man's life be precious, May the land be filled with light. [Outro - All] Bless His glorious name forever. Amen, amen.
