1 Justice like a river, flowing to the sea
rolls down from God through folk like you and me.
As we love each other, peace will fill the land,
and living water breaks upon the sand.

2 Justice like a river flowing to the sea
rolls down from God through folk like you and me.
As we live together, working side by side,
we show God's love, still flowing deep and wide.
