Analysis of Love is God
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Jesus is the Son of God,
Confess and abide in Him;
Give Him honor and laud,
Receive His spiritual vim.
We come to know and believe,
The love that God has for us;
Knowing the love we receive,
In abiding in as thus.
For this love is perfected,
In confidence for that day;
In judgment not rejected,
Knowing we honor and obey.
There is no fear in His love,
Perfect love will cast out fear;
No punishment from above,
In knowing that God is near.
We love for He loved us first,
And you should love your brother;
God gives a heavenly thirst,
For us to love each other.
To love God but hate brothers,
You have made God a liar;
Not having love for others,
Fate is the lake of fire.
This command we have from God,
You have to love your brother;
To God show honor and laud,
Give love to one another
