1 John 3:11   KJV For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

John 13:35 (NLT) Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”

John Starnes sings—I Saw Love

I saw the crowd laughing and mocking as he slowly walked down the street. I saw the man carrying the cross on His back as it fell many times at His feet . They beat Him and they pierced Him till the blood flowed from His side. As He slowly turned His face towards me for the first time I saw in His eyes.

I saw the nails tear His flesh as the hammer struck down. I saw the cross being lifted into the air. I saw it fall heavily into the ground, and the man in the middle, with tears in His eyes, was taking my place. As He slowly turned His face towards me, I forgive you, I heard Him say.

And I saw love like I’ve never seen love before from anyone and I saw love where hatred could have been for all things that were done and the people that stood round me Lord, oh, they were so blind and could not see the love that I saw in His eyes looking back at me.

And I saw love like I’ve never seen love before from anyone and I saw love where hatred could have been for all things that were done and the people that stood round me Lord, oh, they were so blind and would not see the love that I saw in His eyes looking back at me.

And I saw love

       I saw love

       I saw love
