With All Your Life

This is my commandment,

That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

John 15:12 KJV

            ~~~~~~~~~~~~

The world is filled with malice, hate and scorn,

And every day is darker than the last,

But don't despair, it is not time to mourn,

Just love your fellow man despite his caste.

The Savior loves you more than you can know,

He died for all your sins upon the cross.

If you love one another you will grow

To better understand His pain and loss.

If you show love to everyone you meet,

And give without a thought of some return,

The love of Christ in you is more complete,

And love begets more love with less concern.

            This is the Lord's command, that you should love

            With all your life, as Jesus has above.
