THE COMMANDMENT OF LOVE

Do a check-up in your heart and you will always know what to do

When those of whom you love; hurt, criticize and turn their backs on you

Let God's love rise up within you and let the river of His love flow

No matter what they have said, and no matter what they have done, love is the way you should to go

Forgive them, leave it, let it drop, and let it go for this is the law of love

This love can only be done through the Holy Spirit with the Agape kind from God above

Jesus tells us to love our enemies and He tells us how: we bless, do good and pray

This is called the law of love and no matter what they have said or done, love is the only way

God is love and His love have been shed abroad in our heart by the Holy Ghost; so now we have the key

To go forth in faith while overflowing with the love of God to set the captive free

People do not know how much you love them until they see how much you care

Love will always be a doer of the Word, going the extra mile to help those in despair

There is a spirit of hatred trying to get into the Body of Christ throughout the land

For many have entered into it and when love is absent, they are on sinking sand

Faith works by love and love is the fulfilling of the law

And those who refuse to walk in love have forsaken the call

So, God has commanded us to walk in love. It is not a suggestion or a debate

He wants His children to walk in His love so life will be glorious, prosperous and exceedingly great
