Lyrics

Broth ers, let us come to geth er, walk ing in the Spir it: there’s much to be done.

We will come reach ing

out from our com

forts,

and they will know us by our love.

Sis ters, we were made for kind ness; we can pierce the dark ness as He shines through us.

We will be reach ing

with a song of heal

ing,

and they will know us by our love!

The time is now:

come, Church, a rise.

Love with His hands,

see with His eyes.

Bind it a round you,

let it nev er leave

you,

and they will know us by our love!

Chil dren, you are hope for jus tice; stand firm in the Truth now, set your hearts a bove.

You will be reach ing

long af ter we’re

gone,

and they will know us by our love!

The time is now:

come, Church, a rise.

Love with His hands,

see with His eyes.

Bind it a round you,

let it nev er leave

you,

and they will know us by our love.

And they will know us by our love.

By Our Love by Christy Nockels β€” Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows β€œBy Our Love” by Christy Nockels in our color-coded kid songbook view β€” every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of A at 66 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement β€” practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys β€” kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
