It's not a flag on a field
It's not a sign in my yard
Not a cause that I join
Not a phrase on a coin
It's the change in my heart

Mercy and grace and compassion
They're only words without action

I need hands that are open
Reaching out to broken hearts
Cause that's the only way this world
Will ever know who You are
Love is the evidence
Love is the evidence

Might be the pain that you share
Might be the time that you spend
Or the war you don't fight
Backing down from your pride
After all in the end

Mercy and grace and compassion
They're only words without action

I need hands that are open
Reaching out to broken hearts
Cause that's the only way this world
Will ever know who You are
Love is the evidence
Love is the evidence

My life wasn't changed by an argument
That never would have been enough
My life was changed by the evidence of love

Your hands that were open
Reaching out to my broken heart

I need hands that are open
Reaching out to broken hearts
Cause that's the only way this world
Will ever know who You are
Love is the evidence
Love is the evidence
Love is the evidence
Love is the evidence
