John 14:15
“If you love me”—can you prove
that your faith in God is real?
What you say is not enough,
telling others how you feel!
“If you love me,” folks can see
by your actions what you love;
if your mind’s on things below,
or your treasures up above.
“If you love me,” Jesus said,
you will surely keep my words;
my sheep follow—know my voice;
such is faith that undergirds.
“If you love me,” you will bear
fruit, yes, much fruit that will bless
all of those who cross your path;
friends and enemies, no less.
“If you love me,” there’s no fear;
you will witness and succeed.
Winning others for your Lord,
they will listen as you plead.
“If you love me,” you’ll take time
to be with me privately,
fellowshipping with your God,
and with others where they pray.
“If you love me,” I will then
manifest myself to you;
and I’ll come and take you soon
to my home beyond the blue.
