006 If We Love One Another

Download song

If we love one another
we have crossed the great divide
Out of death, out of darkness into life
If we love one another then we truly live
Even though we are daily called to die

Let us love (let us love)
One another (one another)
Even if (even if)
We die (we die)
If we love (if we love)
As He loved (as He loved)
We will share in His resurrection life
We will share in His resurrection life

If we don’t love each other
we may seem to be alive
But there’s always a shadow in our eyes
If we don’t love our brothers we abide in death
Till we die to ourselves and come alive

He said love one another
in the way that I loved You
Then He took up His cross and gave His life
In this love Jesus suffered, in this love He died
But this love leads to resurrection life
Oh this love leads to resurrection life

Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.

Romans 6:4–5.
