Verse 1
            Bm         D   G  D            Bm         D   G  D
It's not a flag on a field     it's not a sign in my yard
       Bm           D            G          D
Not a cause that I join, not a phrase on a coin
           Bm          D    G  D
It's the change in my heart

        Bm D          G    D          Bm      D      G     D
I need hands that are open,  reaching out to broken hearts
        Bm        D     G        D
'Cause that's the only way this world
     Bm        D        G   D
Will ever know who You are

Love is the evidence,  love is the evidence

              Bm             D   G D              Bm             D   G  D
Might be the pain that you share,   might be the  that you spend
       Bm             D              G               D
Or the war you don't fight, backing down from your pride
      Bm   D       G  D
After all, in the end

Your hands that were open

Reaching out to my broken heart
