We must love each other,
Because love comes from God;
Care for one another,
So we not become flawed.
Everyone must love,
If you are born of God,
Pay homage to above,
As you honor and laud.
The one who does not love,
Is not knowing the Lord;
He will not send His dove,
Because you have ignored.
For the love He has shown,
Sending His only Son;
Because He does condone,
Past sin that we have done.
He came to give us life,
For living beyond here,
As Christ endured the strife,
Since His love is sincere.
This is a love so true,
Not that we have loved Him;
But paid a debt for you,
Keep you from feeling grim.
If He shows love this way,
Then we must also give;
So we do not go stray,
To be able to live.
No one has ever seen,
Yet God does live within;
If His Spirit did clean,
From all corrupted sin.
And we live within Him,
When He live within us;
Giving spiritual vim,
To be victorious.
We see to testify,
So that I can declare;
For I cannot deny,
Of the love that we share.
