Seize the Moment – Day 1418
Today’s worship song focus :
They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love
John 13:35 (NASB95)
A favorite song of the late 1960’s and early 70’s, it was written by a young Catholic priest by the name of Peter Raymond Scholtes. Taken from the words that Jesus gave His disciples in John 13, Scholtes wanted to show the connection between the church and its role in the life of the world. While it had a folk style of music, he wanted to connect the faith story of the church’s young people to the disheartened landscape of the culture in America.
Yes, they’ll know we are Christians by our love
We need to wake up and take to heart the words of this song. It is an important part of the message of grace, hope and love that we are to share with our part of the world and beyond. That is when we will truly see our mission of transforming stories through the gospel of Jesus Christ being fulfilled.

They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord.
And we pray that all unity, may one day be restored.
By our love, by our love.
Yes, they’ll know we are Christians by our love.
We will walk with each other, will walk hand in hand,
We will walk with each other, will walk hand in hand,
And together we’ll spread the news, that God is in our land
We will work with each other, we will work side by side
And we’ll save each man’s dignity, and guard each man’s pride.
And all praise to Christ Jesus, God’s only Son
And all praise to the Spirit, Who makes us one.
