The Greatest Is Love

The Greatest Is Love
WORDS AND MUSIC BY DERWIN HINSON © 2009 BMI

Jesus said I have a new commandment for you
As I have loved, ------ love one another too
If you’re trusting in your works, that’s not good enough
Of faith, hope, and charity - the greatest is love

Verse 1
Pray for those who persecute, and use you despitefully
Not just those who love you, but love your enemy
First commandment is to love The Lord, so God you please
Next love your neighbor, the greatest is these

Jesus said I have a new commandment for you
As I have loved, ------ love one another too
If you’re trusting in your works, that’s not good enough
Of faith, hope, and charity - the greatest is love

Verse 2
In honor prefer one another - love with no end
While hate stirs up strife, love covers all sin
You hate your brother, but love The Lord, so you say
The Bible says you are a liar, you will be cast away

Jesus said I have a new commandment for you
As I have loved, ------ love one another too
If you’re trusting in your works, that’s not good enough
Of faith, hope, and charity - the greatest is love
