‘Roll On Mighty River’-Words & Music by Charles Luke Vassella
Roll on, roll on, Mighty River, roll on
Let justice roll down like water, like a never failing stream
O what a beautiful vision, what a beautiful dream
Though our river’s polluted, the truth is disputed
And righteousness is not what it would seem
Its outrageous, to hope through despair
It’s outrageous, in an age of “I know, I know, and I don’t care” why should I care?
Stand up! Lift up your heads
Get ready for the Son
Don’t be dismayed my friends
No don’t be overcome
Your redemption is near, your redemption is near
Watch and pray my friends, your redemption is near
Lord I read your story, the one about how all of this ends
About the age of betrayal by my government,
my family and my friends
About the age of deception, and profiteers who lie constantly
Lord were you describing the end times? Or just another day in the 21st century?
It’s outrageous, I watch and I pray
It’s outrageous, what else can I say?
What would you have me say?
Stand up! Lift up your heads
Get ready for the Son
Don’t be dismayed my friends
No don’t be overcome
We’re gonna raise our hands up into the skies
We will see our humanity in each others eyes

With sublime madness in our souls
Roll on, roll on, Mighty River roll
Let justice flow, let justice flow
Lord give us strength as we go
Let justice, let justice flow
Roll on, roll on, Mighty River, roll on
