Proof.

For King and Country is one of those bands that somehow finds it's way into the mainstream music scene, but has really, really good lyrics. I think the best lyrics are the ones with words that ring true in your heart and even if you can't quite pinpoint the verse, you know it's because they come straight from scripture. 

Here is one of my favorite songs by them (and the lyrics of course):

 

The Proof of Your Love, For King and Country

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, 

I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, 

and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, 

but have not love, I gain nothing."

-1 Corinthians 13:1-3

If I sing but don't have love

I waste my breath with every song

I bring an empty voice, a hollow noise

If I speak with a silver tongue

Convince a crowd but don't have love

I leave a bitter taste with every word I say

So let my life be the proof, 

The proof of your love

Let my love look like You and what You're made of

How You lived, how You died

Love is sacrifice

So let my life be the proof, 

The proof of Your love

If I give

To a needy soul but don't have love then who is poor? 

It seems all the poverty is found in me

So let my life be the proof, 

The proof of your love

Let my love look like You and what You're made of

How You lived, how You died

Love is sacrifice

So let my life be the proof, 

The proof of Your love

When it's all said and done

When we sing our final song

Only love remains

Only love remains

Let my life be the proof, 

The proof of your love

Let my love look like You and what You're made of

How You lived, how You died

Love is sacrifice

So let my life be the proof,

The proof of Your love

-'The Proof of Your Love' by For King and Country

"As a prisoner for the Lord, then, 

I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."

Ephesians 4:2

Love,
