There they go again, talking about each other
Breaking each other's hearts
Forgetting that they are sisters and brothers
Wearing Christ's name should set them apart
Their actions speak louder than words
Their love is what should be heard
They will know you by your love
By the compassion that you show
You answer the need and don't turn away
And it's by your love that they will know
That you're a Christian
It's by your love
He doesn't wear your brand or look as good as you do
Turn your back is what you'll do
Don't you know Christ Jesus died for him, too
It wasn't just for you
Your actions speak louder than words
Your love is what should be heard
They will know you by your love
By the compassion that you show
You answer the need and don't turn away
And it's by your love that they will know
That you're a Christian
It's by your love
Tear down the walls of prejudice
And build up every man
Break the barriers built by the tongue
If you believe, you can
They will know you by your love
By the compassion that you show
You answer the need and don't turn away
And it's by your love that they will know
That you're a Christian
It's by your love
They will know you by your love
By the compassion that you show
You answer the need and don't turn away
And it's by your love that they will know
That you're a Christian
It's by your love
