They will know us by our love (John 13:35)—Lyrics in Description

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. John 13:35 Lyrics (Verse 1) She stood ashamed in the dust and the stone Accusers with rocks ready to break her bones You knelt down low, wrote in the dirt with Your hand Took the shame on Yourself so she could stand No condemnation in Your eyes so kind Just “Go and sin no more,” a brand new life (Pre-Chorus) You don’t just speak it—You bleed it, You live it. (Chorus) They’ll know we are Your followers by our love! By our love! By our love! Active and wild, breaking every wall Restoring the broken, lifting the fall Jesus' love—reckless, holy, true Lord, make us love like You! Whoa-oh-oh, love like You! Whoa-oh-oh (Verse 2) Hung on a cross between two guilty thieves One mocked Your name; the other cried, “Remember me." In Your own agony, You turned Your head Gave him paradise before the day was dead No time to earn it, no works to show Just Your mercy said, “Today you’re coming home." (Pre-Chorus) You don’t just speak it—you bleed it, You live it (Chorus) They’ll know we are Your followers by our love! By our love! By our love! Active and wild, breaking every wall Restoring the broken, lifting the fall Jesus love—reckless, holy, true Lord, make us love like You! Whoa-oh-oh, love like You! (Bridge) At the well You spoke to the one no one would touch Gave her living water, turned her shame into a rush Lepers You touched when the law said stay away Your hand on their skin said “You’re human today." This is the love that turns the world upside down This is the love that wears a thorny crown (Final Chorus) They’ll know we are Your followers by our love! By our love! Burning love! Barrier-breaking, dignity-giving flame Calling the outcast, calling them by name Jesus' love—furious, gentle, true Make us dangerous with love like You! Whoa-oh-oh, love like You! Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh, we will love like You! (Outro – Slow then explosive) Even when we’re failing, even when we sin You still run toward us, You still take us in Nailed to the cross for the worst in me Your blood kept on loving… set this captive free Not with words alone… but with hands that reach Hearts that forgive… and arms wide for the least They’ll know us… by our love… Like You.
