By Our Love Lyrics:
We can say all of the right things
Preach a sermon all day long
And still get it wrong
Gotta have love, oh
They're gonna know us by our love
We can build the tallest steeples
Lift our voices to the sky
But they'd only get so high
Without love, oh
They're gonna know us by our love
So come on all my sisters and brothers
We can all give a little more help to each other
When it's all been said and done
They're gonna know us by our love
We can't get to where we're going
'Til we decide to let 'em go
All our reasons to withhold
All our love, oh
We'll never make it without love
So come on all my sisters and brothers
We can all give a little more help to each other
When it's all been said and done
They're gonna know us by our love
Reach out now and take a hand
Help somebody while we can
Things will get better when
We learn to love somebody, love somebody
Reach out now and take a hand
Help somebody yes we can
Things will get better when
We learn to love somebody, love somebody
Reach out now and take a hand
Help somebody while we can
Things will get better when
We learn to love somebody, love somebody
Reach out now and take a hand
Help somebody while we can
Things will get better when
We learn to love somebody, love somebody
Oh, yeah
So come on all my sisters and brothers
We can all give a little more help to each other
When it's all been said and done
They're gonna know us by our love
Yeah, when it's all been said and done
They're gonna know us by our love

Cochren & Co.'s song 'By Our Love' is a contemporary Christian track that emphasizes the importance of love as the defining mark of believers. The lyrics challenge outward religious activities, such as preaching or building steeples, without genuine love, and call for practical help and unity among Christians. The song encourages listeners to reach out, help others, and let go of reasons to withhold love, suggesting that love is essential for progress and improvement. It echoes the biblical idea that love is the greatest commandment and that others will recognize followers of Christ by their love.
