We must love each other,
Because from God comes love;
Care for one another,
Flowing down from above.
Everyone who loves,
From God they have been born,
Have gentleness like doves,
In His Spirit sojourn.
The one who does not love,
Does not understand Christ;
Sent down from up above,
Just to be sacrificed.
God has shown us His love,
Sending His only Son;
Into the world thereof,
So victory be won.
Victory over sin,
Giving eternal life;
So we can cleanse within,
Caused by corrupted strife.
This is love for He cares,
To pay for our sin;
And the love that He shares,
Makes us His next of kin.
We should love each other,
If God loves us this much;
Loving one another,
As God gives His kind touch.
No one has ever seen,
Although He lives within;
With a love that is clean,
When you are free from sin.
We know we live in Him,
And He has lives in us;
For His spiritual vim,
Gives energy as thus.
It is through His Spirit,
That we know and believe;
For what we inherit,
Will be what we receive.
