Amos 5:24
But let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
When water flows
the sound may be gentle and soothing
bringing balm to weary souls
It may be cacophonous and disturbing
bringing terror and fear
It may signal the welcome assuaging of thirst
Or it may herald the destruction of all in its path
When justice and righteousness travel together
they bring the promise of restoration for the oppressed
and those who have been overlooked
And a message of dire warning for those who trample underfoot
those whom God loves with a passion
There is no middle ground
It is all or nothing
Choose wisely
let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream
