Evidence

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
