Analysis of Love of God
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Let us love one another,
Because love is from the Lord;
Love as sister and brother,
Knowing that God is adored.
Not loving Him knows not God,
You must know God as to love;
If not then you are a fraud,
Since not loving Him thereof.
Love from God made manifest,
That He sent His only Son;
For setting out on a quest,
Winning over sin was won.
When we love God we know love,
For His Son as atonement;
That His glory from above,
Gives a path to alignment.
If God loves, love each other,
Showing your love unto Him;
And love for one another,
Your love will never grow dim.
No one has ever seen God,
But faith wills us to abide;
Perfects His love from above,
To laud who was crucified.
