This is how I love you   I obey your commmands   To love truth and love justice   And my fellow man      To steady to weak   And the hungry to feed   That Christ might be honored   And with me be pleased      For this is the love   The love You have shown   And to love I must echo   The love I have known   So I will be faithful   To love as required   A love shown by obedience   Lord I'll be obedient      This is how I love You   Giving as I've received   The blessings You've lavished   To others in need      To care for the poor   To free the oppressed   To stand for the orphan   And the widow to bless      If I have not love   Then I truly have    Nothing at all      Here now is love   The love You have shown   And to love I must echo   The love I have known   So I will be faithful   To love as required   A love shown by obedience   Lord I'll be obedient
