Keith Christ has released “Where is Justice?”, a powerful rock protest anthem that boldly addresses pressing social justice issues facing society today. Inspired by his reflections on a scripture from Luke 11:42, which critiques the hypocrisy of religious and societal practices, the song emerged from Christ’s personal journey and experiences, particularly from his youth spent engaging in outreach missions with Drug Arm.
The scripture reads: “I’ve had it with you! You’re hopeless, you Pharisees! Frauds! You keep meticulous account books, tithing on every nickel and dime you get, but manage to find loopholes for getting around basic matters of justice and God’s love.” This powerful message serves as the foundation for the song, emphasizing the importance of genuine justice and compassion over mere religious ritualism.
Musically, “Where is Justice?” represents a departure from Christ’s usual style, drawing inspiration from iconic protest anthems by Peter Garrett and Midnight Oil. With a sound that melds rock with an urgent call to action, the track echoes the impact that music can have in illuminating social injustices.
The lyrics of “Where is Justice?” resonate deeply, shining a light on various forms of social injustice that Christ has witnessed both in his own nation and around the world. Through this song, he challenges listeners to question the status quo and consider their role in advocating for change.
Christ’s passionate delivery and evocative lyrics urge a collective response: “Who will rise up, who will make a difference?” He emphasizes that we are all called to take a stand and contribute to a holy uprising aimed at creating a better future for generations to come.
“Where is Justice?” is not just a song; it’s a rallying cry for listeners to engage with the world around them and strive for meaningful change. With its blend of heartfelt conviction and rock energy, Keith Christ’s latest release serves as a poignant reminder of the power of music in the fight for justice.
