Christy Nockels' song 'By Our Love' is a call for the Church to live out its faith through visible love and unity. Drawing from Jesus' command in John 13:35, the lyrics urge believers—brothers, sisters, and children—to walk in the Spirit, serve with kindness, and pursue justice. The song emphasizes that authentic Christian community and compassion will be the defining mark that others recognize. It encourages reaching beyond comfort, piercing darkness, and leaving a legacy of love. The repeated refrain 'they will know us by our love' anchors the message in the biblical principle that love is the primary witness of faith.

Brothers, let us come together
Walking in the Spirit, there's much to be done...
We will come reaching, out from our comforts
And they will know us by our love...
Sisters, we were made for kindness
We can pierce the darkness as He shines through us...
We will come reaching, with a song of healing...
And they will know us by our love!
The time is now
Come Church arise...
Love with His hands
See with His eyes...
Bind it around you,
Let it never leave you,
And they will know us by our love...
Children, You are hope for justice,
Stand firm in the Truth now, set your hearts above
You will be reaching, long after we're gone,
And they will know you by your love!
