Poetry

Dear friends do not believe
Every spirit you hear.
Many who will deceive
Are now already here.

Put each one to the test
To see if they’re from God.
You’ve got to keep abreast
As through this world you trod.

If Jesus in the flesh
They even once deny,
This warning you keep fresh,
For anti-Christ is nigh.

They are now in this world,
But you can overcome.
Let you faith be unfurled,
And start beating you drum.

Two spirits are out there
Striving to get men’s ears.
Evil will the world snare;
They’ll listen and give cheer.

Some will listen to us,
For they are from God too.
The Spirit of Jesus
Will reveal who is true.

Greater is He in me
Than he that’s in this world.
From all eternity
Will are rivals be hurled.

Verses 7-12

Let us love one another,
For its clear love comes from God,
And if we love our brother,
We know we’ve been born of God.

Whoever does not have love
Cannot know the God above
Whatever he’s thinking of,
For our God’s a God of love.

God is love He made it clear,
He sent One He loved most dear.
He His only Son did give
That through Him we all might live

If there’s no love within us,
God in our lives is not known.
God showed His love in Jesus
Sending Him from heaven’s throne.

God is love its clear to see
For time and eternity.
On the hill of Calvary
Jesus gave his life for me.

Jesus loved this world so,
He paid the ultimate price.
He came down to us below,
And died as our sacrifice.

Since its true God has loved us
With love that’s like no other,
Let us follow Lord Jesus,
And truly love each other.

No one has ever seen God
Walking any earthly street,
But if we will love’s path trod,
God’s love in us He’ll complete.

Verses 13-21

We know that we live in Him
Higher than the Seraphim,
Yet He came to dwell in us,
Savior of the world-Jesus.

If we acknowledge this Son
Is the true and Holy One,
He will live within our heart,
And will never from us part.

God is love and always He
Will be love eternally.
Those who will live now in love
Will live forever above.

Love fills us with confidence
As we dwell in His presence.
We can face the judgment day
With all fear driven away.

Perfect love drives out all fear,
Fills our hearts with grateful cheer;
On the cross Christ took our pain
Penalties are pain, its plain.

We love, but He loves us first,
For our sin our Lord was cursed.
Hating one for whom He died
Means within our hearts we’ve died.

God has given this command,
And forever it will stand,
If our love for Him is true,
We must love our brother too.

If our brother we don’t love,
We can’t love the Lord above.
If we can’t love those we see,
Love for Him, unseen, can’t be.
