Redeeming Love

I do not give a new law,
Rather a law that is old;
That will be stopping your flaw,
For clinging on and to hold.

This old law is of the Word,
Which had come upon your ears;
And that you have also heard,
Over many of the years.

But a new law that I give,
Which is very true in Him;
And also in you to live,
So the light will not look dim.

For the night is near its end,
As true light is shining out;
The source is not foe but friend,
That sheds any of your doubt.

He who truly has the love,
Already is in the light;
As blessings flow from above,
In giving you the insight.

But if you hate your brother,
Then you still are in the dark;
And no love for another,
Anywhere that you embark.
