Justice and Mercy

music & lyrics: Joshua Reuben Fritz

'Till every hungry soul is fed
'Till every orphan has a home
'Till the lost and broken are comforted
We will work with diligence
In the Spirit of power and unity
The poor and oppressed we will satisfy
and the needy,
We will spend ourselves on their behalf

And our light will break forth like the dawn
And our healing will quickly appear

Let it rain down
Justice and Mercy
Justice and Mercy

'Till every nation's peace is kept
and every child's innocence
'Till infants no longer sacrificed
We will labour into the night
In the Spirit of power and unity
The poor and oppressed we will satisfy
and the needy,
We will spend ourselves on their behalf

And our light will break forth like the dawn
And our healing will quickly appear

Let it rain down
Justice and Mercy
Justice and Mercy

  1. I've been looking for this song everywhere, but I can't find it to listen to or download. Who is it by, and how can I find it?

  2. It's by Joshua Fritz - he's from Alberta. I contacted CHVN in Winnipeg and they were in contact with a station in Alberta, who were nice enough to send me a copy of his CD (which was a fundraising project).
