Known By Love
A seed can't grow til its laid in the ground
It's who we're becoming as we lay our lives down
It what we take with us when we leave this place
And love is a willing surrender to grace
And we are known by Love
If we bear His name
And we show by Love
We are not the same
As the world knows well
For this mark will tell
Known by Love and His Love is a Light to the world.
When we lay our life down, when we give it away
It can be all at once or day unto day
Moment by moment may ber the greatest test
However we give it's however we're blessed.
When we give up our time we gain eternity
Tresure in heaven in exchange for what we see.
And thi is the mark of the life that's well lived
They'll know us by love and not what we believed.
If this then is the mark by which we are known
What is the evidence that you and I have shown?
So are we known by Love?
If we bear His name
And we show by Love
We are not the same
As the world knows well
For this mark will tell
Known by Love and His Love is a Light to the world.
