lyrics
1 TUNE: "Brethren, We have Met to Worship"
We remember the words of Jesus: "Let me give you a new command.
Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another.
When everyone sees how you love each other, they will know you follow me." (John 13:34-35)
So, we choose to focus in on Christ, not dwelling on our differences.
OPTIONAL REFRAIN: from "They'll Know we are Christians by Our Love"
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love;
Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love.
2 TUNE: "Brethren, We have Met to Worship"
We celebrate we're a living peace church and embrace new revelations from God.
We will humble ourselves, and engage in the tension of community needed for new birth.
In the spirit of love and acceptance, we'll openly listen to one another.
And, listening to the Holy Spirit, we'll work in mutual support and love.
OPTIONAL REFRAIN: from "They'll Know we are Christians by Our Love"
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love;
Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love.
