I've managed to dig out some old recordings which is why I'm going through a mass posting phase.
This song started out from a Sunday School I was helping to teach and I friend of mine pulled out a verse from Proverbs 31
8 "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy."
I think I've been working on this for 2 years; Tim helped me with a few bits of it about a year ago.
Capo 3
Verse 1:
_____G______C2_____________G
If we stand for those who cannot stand,
_____Em_____D/F#_________C2
If we speak for those without a voice
_____G___C2__________G_____________D
If we pray, trusting in Your word, we'll see a change
Chorus:
_________C___G_________D
Let justice reign, let justice reign
_______Em______D______G_____G/B__C2
Lord we cry out to You, to see this world changed
Verse 2:
We will lead the broken back to Jesus,
And share the gospel with the lost,
We will live as Your hands and feet, Lord You will save
Chorus 2:
Let justice reign, let justice reign
Set our hearts on fire, to see injustice end
