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.
