"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” ~John 13:35
This past Sunday in our humble country church we sang the song, They'll Know We Are Christians by Our Love. I can't remember when I last sang this song, but I am sure it was in the 1970s with a guitar strumming and a group of young singers singing. In all truth, I was surprised it was in our hymnal. I sang it with my whole heart and soul and spirit, just like I remember doing back then. Hubby and I have been praying for revival in our land and this song reminded me of how crucial it is to love one another right now. The pastor's message was, "Love Your Enemies."
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
We are one in the
Spirit, we are one in the Lord
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord
And we pray that all unity may one day be restored
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
We will work with
each other, we will work side by side
We will work with each other, we will work side by side
And we'll guard each one's dignity and save each one's pride
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
We will walk with
each other, we will walk hand in hand
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand
And together we'll spread the news that God is in our land
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
All praise to the Father from whom all things come
And all praise to Christ Jesus his only son
And all praise to the Spirit who makes us one
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
Yes they'll know we are Christians by our love.

Do you remember singing this song?
Have you sung it lately?
The first I sang that song was in college, and I don't know if I ever did since!
ReplyDeleteWe are one in the spirit. We pray that unity may one day be restored. I sang it at church camp! ☺️
ReplyDeleteThat takes me back for sure. Sang it a lot in the 70's. We need lots of light and love these days.
ReplyDeleteYes! I remember this from the 70s, too! Same. With a guitar strumming and a bunch of long-haired girls and boys singing the song. I love your (and your husband's) heart for revival. It inspires me. Thanks, Jody.
ReplyDeleteI just listened to it via youtube. Thank you for sharing the song, Jody, and sharing your heart too.
ReplyDeleteI remember singing this in youth group circa 1977. Still a favorite!

I have always loved that old song, such a wonderful, simple '70s song. Thanks for sharing. I need to be sure to put that one in the singing rotation at our church too.
ReplyDeleteI remember singing that a LOT back in the '70's. :)
