If You Love Me

“If you love Me

I now say

All My teach­ing you’ll ob­ey.

I will to My Fa­ther pray

And He’ll send His Spir­it to stay.

“Spirit of truth and Coun­sel­or

Unknown by the world this hour;

But you know His pre­sence here

With you

in you

al­ways near.

“Orphans you will nev­er be.

Though the world will not see Me

You will see

I’ll come to you;

Since I live

you will live too.

“You’re in Me and I’m in you;

I am in My Fa­ther too.

If you My com­mands ob­ey

You’ll show love for Me this way.

“If you love Me

you’ll be loved

By my Fa­ther God ab­ove.

I My­self will love you too

And will show My­self to you.

Peace I leave with you this day

Not as in the world’s own way.

Let your hearts not feel dis­may;

Do not fear; My peace will stay.
