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 / Cuz’ 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 / 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
