Love One Another As I Have Loved You

"I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another.

Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another."

John 13:34

As I Have Loved You

(2019)

Greg Olson

American artist

"Love one another as I have loved you"

May seem impossible to do,

But if you will try to trust and believe,

Great are the joys that you will receive.

For love makes us patient, understanding, and kind,

And we judge with our hearts and not with our minds,

For as soon as love entered the heart's open door,

The faults we once saw are not there anymore.

And the things that seem wrong begin to look right

When viewed in the softness of love's gentle light.

For love works in ways that are wondrous and strange,

And there is nothing in life that love cannot change,

And all that God promised will someday come true

When you love one another the way He loved you.

"Love One Another As I Have Loved You"
