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

Tag:
______G___________D______________C2
You're calling us to the last, the least, the lost
______G_______________D
To see justice flow like the river
G _______________D_________C2____G________D
Righteousness like a never-failing stream, never-failing stream

Amos 5:24
Proverbs 31:8-9

Again any thoughts or suggestions would be great, Thanks
