You Will Know Them
A E7
Someone gave to me a drink of water
E A
Your blood made us children of the Father
D
I am learning how to be a daughter
E7 E A
And, I thank you for that love.
A E7
I was hungry but a sister fed me
E A
Wrapped me in her clothing as you led me
D
I am not afraid you might forget me
A E7 E A
And I thank you for that love.
A D E7 A
And you will know them by their love
D E7 A
All their affections set on things above
D
This world is not their home
A D
And your precious seed they’ve sown
A E7 A
You will know them by their love.
Faith in jeopardy, I have a brother
In my hour of need he was my cover
Hear our voices praying for each other.
And I thank you for that love.
Wake me in the night with songs like water
To pour out for your faithful thirsty warriors
Heal their wounds and keep them, Holy Father
Yes, I thank you for this love.
When I was a stranger, your love found me
To my searching heart, it was confounding
Drew me, held me, taught me, you unbound me!
And I thank you for that love.
Keep us in your hand like all the bright stars
Gather us like jewels scattered afar
Let us be the treasure of your own heart
And I thank you for your love.
