We must love

Not a prayer, a suggestion
but a command of God
Christ, the Son, Messiah
in the upper room

We must love
as he loves us
giving up his life
even letting the betrayer
go out into the night

The words he spoke to them
ringing down through time
what God means by love
not a prize but a stumbling block
proof to us that we need
Christ’s sacrifice on the cross
