Je e e e sus,   how Loving You are,

You are so gentle,    so pure and so kind,

Yo o ou shine,  You are the bright morning star,

Je e e sus  how Loving You are.

 

For You Love us so,    with a Love that never dies,

Deeper than the ocean,   wider than the skies,

With a love that lasts forever,   with a love so pure and true,

Lord of Love I pray Thee,    Help us to love You.

Love You with all of our heart,     Love You with all of our soul,

Love You with all of our mind,     Love You with a a ll of our strength,

And to love one another,   as You have Loved us,

That the Lo o ove of God    is made perfect in us.

O Lord,  open up our hearts to Love,

Love sent from God above,    Love sent for everyone,

When You gave us Your Loving Son,

God is Love,

True Love,

And if we love with Your true Love,

You live in us,

And we live in You.

For You Love us so,    with a Love that never dies,

Deeper than the ocean,     wider than the skies,

With a Love that lasts forever,

With a Love so pure and true,

(.S')   Lord of Love I pray Thee,

Please help us to love You (.S' X3)

In Christ Jesus.       Amen.

 

 1Jn.4.8 They that love not do not know God, for God is Love. 

1Jn.3.16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Mk.12.29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:     30 and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment.    31 And the second is like, namely this, You shall love your neighbour as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Jn.13.34 A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.    35 By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.

Jn.15.12 This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends,   14 You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you.

Jn.14.15 If you love me keep my commandments.

1Jn.4.7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God.    8 He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.    9 In this was manifested the love of God towards us, because that God sent his only begotten son into the world, that we might live through him.    10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his son to be the propitiation for our sins.    11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.    12 No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.

1Jn.5.2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.    3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments.
