Love One Another As I Have Loved You

I healed you through my touch
I could have cured by
A simple word or gesture
But I made it a point to show
My love through physical touch

I shared my life with you
I ate with you; I slept with you,
I celebrated with you
I made it a point to show
My love through time and attention

I calmed your fears; gave the helpless hope
Forgave the accused; encouraged the weak
I befriended the friendless and guided the lost
I made it a point to show
My love through words of affirmation

I washed your feet; I cured your sick
I came when you called
I comforted your fears
I made it a point to show
My love through acts of service

There is no greater gift than to
Lay down one’s life for a friend
I made it a point to show
My love through such a gift

I did all of this for you
And ask only one thing in return...

To love one another as I have loved you
