about

From Amos 5:6-15, 21-24; 6:4-7. Through Amos the prophet, God speaks judgment against the northern kingdom of Israel. Why? Because they have exploited the poor, forgotten God's justice, forsaken their God for lesser gods, and had turned worship into empty ritual. The scary thing is that this can sound a lot like the Church today. But God always gives a way out... He says "Seek me and live. Let my justice and righteousness flow like a river. I may then relent."

Let us return to the heart of worship and the heart of our God. Let us not turn the poor away or turn our worship into ritual.

lyrics

You turn my justice into poison
You cast my righteousness aside
You trample on the poor
You shut all their doors
Then you lay back and think you’re fine

Turned from the one who made the morning
Knows every thought in your head
Think you’re the chosen one
So you do what you want
You’re gonna lie in this bed

But let my justice roll down
Let my righteousness flow down
Seek your God while He may be found
And live, and live.

Woe to the one who takes it easy
Stretching out on your bed
Enjoy the finer things,
But you exploit the weak,
So I am calling for your head

Chorus

I hate your feasts
You don’t care so they don’t mean nothin
Your straight-faced gatherings
You don’t care so they don’t mean nothin
Your songs you sing
They are like noise to me
All the blood of your offerings
Turn my head cause they don’t mean nothin

But let my justice roll
Let my righteousness flow...

Chorus
