Let us love each other,

Because love is from God;

Loving one another,

Gives Him honor and laud.

Everyone who loves,

Has been fathered by Him;

Like a peace from the doves,

Keeps you from being grim.

Whoever does not love,

Has never known the Lord;

For love reveals thereof,

When not in one accord.

The love of God reveals,

Sending His only Son;

Your scars from sin He heals,

When confession is done.

Not that we have loved God,

But showed He has loved us;

His Son atoned where flawed,

Was sacrificed as thus.

No one has ever seen,

The Father anytime;

Presently or has been,

During war or peacetime.

If we love God resides,

His love is perfected;

Because of one abides,

And has not rejected.

In God if we reside,

His Spirit is within;

Because of love inside,

He purifies from sin.

Confess Jesus as Son,

Profess Him being Lord;

The Father will not shun,

Never to be ignored.

There is no fear in love,

Perfect love drives out fear;

He loved us first thereof,

His Word is loud and clear.
