Tune: St James Air
('How lovely is your dwelling place')
John 13 v.31-35
******
John's Gospel Series (15)
A while before His departure
Jesus, He did assure
His disciples, His mission to
All His Father's will do
They could not with Him go just then
But remained among men
A time later they would Him see
Risen Lord He would be
A new commandment did He give
Showed them the way to live
'Tis that we love one another
Whate'er sister, brother
To love as Jesus has us loved
We among His beloved
So that we love each other here
As He has loved us dear
By this shall all people, they shall
Know, and proclaim and tell
That we are Jesus' disciples
Love's hallmark each recalls
Thus people shall see believers
Givers and receivers
Speaking and living out Christ's love
Through His Spirit the dove

Thanks Uncle Steve ~ Love BJA to the 23rd Psalm ~ we used to sing it at School Assembly. Lovely Pictures of the USA in the Fall ~ I went a few years ago ~ AWESOME. WE regard the Mormons as UNORTHODOX ~ but they sure can sing ! Thanks for your POEM ~ uplifting as always !
By this shall everybody know you are MY DISCIPLES ~ By the LOVE you share with each other ~ AMEN
Yours as always ~ NEPHEW BRIAN !
Thanks B&A. Erm, another thing with Mormons. I didn't fancy a 3-hour session - 2 hours of study, then 1 hour of worship, with the Mormons. In our town anyway!
The Spirit is always with us.
Another winner, Orchidee. Risen Lord He be.
Thanks w c.
