We must love each other,
As sister and brother;
Because love comes from God,
That we honor and laud.
Everyone who loves,
Are like peace loving doves;
Born from and knows God,
Forgiven as whence flawed.
Whoever does not love,
Does not see up above;
Just discontent and hate,
Little know of their fate.
The love that God has shown,
As He sits on His throne;
To send His only Son,
For getting the job done.
He had endured the strife,
So that we could have life;
For payment of the sin,
That corrupts us within.
So if this is the way,
To teach us not to stray;
We must help each other,
And love one another.
No one has ever seen,
Where God has ever been;
But deep within, God lives,
All because God forgives.
His love is perfected,
Never as neglected;
We know and live in Him,
Through His vigor and vim.
God gave us His Spirit,
Of what we inherit;
Building a foundation,
For our salvation.
We just cannot deny,
To see and testify;
Who the Father has sent,
Getting us to repent.
So we live to declare,
Our time that we share;
That Jesus Christ is Lord,
Who is loved and adored.
