Let My Life Be The Proof Of Your Love!

Hi!

Today’s Monday Motivation song comes from for King & Country with their song The Proof of Your Love! This song reminds us that our lives must show the proof of His love! When we are sharing His love with others, we are fulfilling what Jesus commands us to do.

Here is the verses that I picked:

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.

Here is the music video to this song:

Here is today’s winner to our Lauren Daigle Concert Ticket Giveaway:

The song was Thank God I Do and the lyrics that needed to be filled in were:

“I don’t know who I’d be if I didn’t know You,

Thank God I do.“

Congratulations to Rodney of Gambier!
