For King & Country's rendition of 'They'll Know We Are Christians by Our Love' is a modern take on the classic hymn originally written by Peter Scholtes. The song emphasizes Christian unity, love, and witness, calling believers to walk, work, and pray together so that their love for one another becomes a testimony to the world. It echoes Jesus' command to love one another as a mark of discipleship (John 13:35). The repetitive, uplifting chorus reinforces the central message that love is the defining characteristic of followers of Christ.

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
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
Yes, 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
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love
They'll know us by our love (love, love), our love (love, love)
Our love (love, love), our love
They'll know us by our love (love, love), our love (love, love)
Our love (love, love), our love
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 other's dignity and save each other's pride
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love (love, love, oh)
They'll know us by our love (love, love), our love (love, love)
Our love (love, love), our love
They'll know us by our love (love, love), our love (love, love)
Our love (love, love), our love
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
They will know we are Christians by our love, by our love
Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love
