I Give You a New Commandment

I give you a new commandment

That you love one another

Love one another

Love one another

As I have loved you

At supper Jesus showed his perfect love

Taking the role of a servant

He took a towel and a basin of water

And washed the feet of his disciples

I give you a new commandment

That you love one another

Love one another

Love one another

As I have loved you

If I, your Lord and Master, wash your feet

So must you do for each other

Thus all will know that you are my disciples

If you have love for one another

I give you a new commandment

That you love one another

Love one another

Love one another

As I have loved you

There is no greater love than this

Giving one's life for one's friends

You are my friends if you do what I command you

I call you friends, no longer servants

I give you a new commandment

That you love one another

Love one another

Love one another

As I have loved you

In Christ we have known the love of God

Kindled within by the Spirit

Making us servants of God's compassion

To all in need we must be neighbor

I give you a new commandment

That you love one another

Love one another

Love one another

As I have loved you
