Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I don't want to be known for what I hate
I don't want to miss the things that make Your heart break
I don't want to say things you'd never say
Come have Your way in me
Let justice roll like a river in my soul
Let mercy overflow like a flood
Let kindness burn like a fire in my bones
That lights the way back home for all to come
I wanna be known by love
Known by love
I wanna be known by love
Known by love
Come and help me see the way you see
Come and show me how to be your hands and feet
I want to be the friend that You would be
Come have Your way in me
Let justice roll like a river in my soul
Let mercy overflow like a flood
Let kindness burn like a fire in my bones
That lights the way back home for all to come
I wanna be known by love
Known by love
I wanna be known by love
Known by love
In my heart
In my mind
Send a revival
In my world
In my life
Send a revival
In my heart
In my mind
Send a revival
In my world
In my life
Let justice roll like a river in my soul
Let mercy overflow like a flood
Let kindness burn like a fire in my bones
That lights the way back home back to you
I wanna be known by love
Known by love
I wanna be known by love
Known by love
I wanna be known by love
Known by love
I wanna be known by love
Known by love
