Let Justice Roll | Cedar Hills

Every now and then I encounter an unknown song that just rocks my world. Usually it’s a song that’s not popular, not on the radio, not really being done anywhere but I find in a music database called CCLI.

CCLI is the go-to place for music for worship and music leaders world-wide. We pay a fee to CCLI every year to legally use all the music we do on Sunday mornings and then we report back to them what songs we use so they can pay the artists. It’s actually a really nifty system to make sure artists get paid by churches that are using their music. And in doing so, I have access to giant database of 1000s of songs. Maybe millions. Lets just say lots and lots and lots.

I can get into the database and see current trends, new up-and-coming songs, search for songs by lyrics and find original versions of music. Let’s just say I spend a good amount of my week in CCLI, either looking up music, studying scores, brainstorming theme ideas or playing with the search features. “Let Justice Roll” has become the theme song of our new “Transform the Corridor” focus. This little song is unknown, but the words are impactful:

You see the world as daughters and sons
in an ocean of your love.
You want your church to reach for the lost
more than thousands of our songs.
Let justice roll.
We see the waters rising!
Heavens flood is coming!
To cover the earth with healing:
let it pour down.
We’ll see the darkness scatter
when your people gather.
Hell cannot stop your power:
Let it pour down.

In my spirit I say, “Yes, Lord!” Let it pour down! The Corridor WILL BE transformed.
