Take care in these dangerous times and reach out to the ones you love

By These Things

By Elton Smith and Larry Holder

CCLI Number: 7200971

How did Jesus want his followers to act and think? We took many of the things Jesus said and distilled them into a song. I wrote the music. Larry and I wrote the lyrics. Steve Israel made the recording with Elton and Larry joining in on harmony vocals and bass guitar. - Elton June 6, 2022

(Verse 1)
Blessed are those
Who take to heart the words I'm saying
And in simple trust lay down their heavy load
Blessed are those
Who offer more than words they're praying
As they help the weary traveler on the road

(Chorus)
By these things you will be known
Comfort and care for one another
Living your faith
You truly are God's sons and daughters
Show the world my love and kindness
By these things

(Verse 2)
Blessed are those
Who lavish comfort on the grieving
As my hands and feet they minister today
Blessed are those
Who give much more than they're receiving
As they help someone in need along the way

(Sing chorus twice more)
By these things you will be known
Comfort and care for one another
Living your faith
You truly are God's sons and daughters
Show the world my love and kindness
By these things

(Ending)
Show the world my love and kindness
By these things
Show the world my love and kindness
By these things
