only through each other – v2

Only through each other
do we really come to know God;
Only by loving our neighbor
do we see the risen Christ

We do not see God
for God is Spirit, iight;
We come to know God fully
in love, in community

knowing a friend – v2

Coming to know God
not on the surface, but deeply;
Knowing God as
we know a friend

Sharing with God
our days, our deepest secrets;
Walking with God
all the days of our lives

God saved me - 2

I would love to take credit
that I am a self-made man
that I am the reason
I am who I am
but I am not the reason
I cannot fix this mess
God saved me
He raised me from the dead

how are you changed

how are you changed
by the love of Jesus
how has walking with the Savior
changed your life

what are the signs
that you are a Christian
how does the world know
you are a follower of Christ
