by our love

I just heard this song for the first time a few minutes ago (while painting my daughter's room!). I find the video below extremely distracting and wish I could find a version with just the album cover, but it's worth listening to if you close your eyes or scroll below the video. Nothing wrong with the video, but in my opinion it takes away from it! I posted the lyrics below.



Brothers, let us come together
Walking in the Spirit, there's much to be done...
We will come reaching, out from our comforts
And they will know us by our love...

Sisters, we were made for kindness
We can pierce the darkness as He shines through us...
We will come reaching, with a song of healing...
And they will know us by our love!

The time is now
Come Church arise...
Love with His hands
See with His eyes...
Bind it around you,
Let it never leave you,
And they will know us by our love...

Children, You are hope for justice,
Stand firm in the Truth now, set your hearts above
You will be reaching, long after we’re gone,
And they will know you by your love!

hope and trust

"The inability to open up to hope is what blocks trust, and blocked trust is the reason for blighted dreams." ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
