It's not a flag on a field
It's not a sign in my yard
Not a course that I joined, 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 for broken hearts
'Cause that's the only way this world
Would 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 for broken hearts
'Cause that's the only way this world
Would ever know who You are
Love is the evidence
Love is the evidence

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

Your hands, they were open
Reaching out to my broken heart

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

Love is the evidence 
Love is the evidence 
Love is the evidence 
Love is the evidence
