Subject: Lyr Add: THEY'LL KNOW WE ARE CHRISTIANS BY...^^
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.
CHORUS:
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love.
And they'll 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.
CHORUS

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
CHORUS

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.
CHORUS

Is that the one you're looking for, Steve? I'm gonna feel real dumb about typing the whole thing if it isn't. It's a 60's folk Mass hit called "They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love," by Rev. Peter Scholtes, 1966. Copyright, F.E.L. Publications. It's in common use in the "mainstream" Christian churches. I sang it this morning, as a matter of fact.
