For King and Country is the new band name of the Australian brothers of Rebecca St. James, formerly known as Joel & Luke.
''We were born and raised in the southern hemisphere, the land down-under... Australia. And in case you can't tell, we are brothers.
Since before we can remember, music has been our life's natural backdrop and soundtrack. Our Father was a music promoter turned entertainment manager which gave us a first hand introduction to a very eclectic mix of music and live shows.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

CHORUS FmCmG#D# So let my life be the proof The proof of Your love FmCmG#D# Let my love look like You and what You're made of FmD#Bb How You lived how You died Love is sacrifice FmCmG#D# So let my life be the proof The proof of Your love

MONOLOGUE: FmCmG#D# If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love FmCmG#D# I am nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate If I speak God's Word with power FmCmG#D# revealing all of his mysteries and making everything as plain as day FmCmG#D# and if I have faith to say to a mountain jump and it jumps but don't love I am nothing FmCmG#D# If I give all I own to the poor or even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr FmCmG#D# But don't love I've gotten nowhere So FmCmG#D# No matter what I say no matter what I believe no matter what I do
I am bankrupt without love
CHORUS: FmCmD# Let my life be the proof The proof of Your love FmCmG#D# Let my love look like You and what You're made of G#D#Bb How You lived how You died Love is sacrifice FmCmG#D# So let my life be the proof The proof of Your love
