Be Kind to One Another
Embrace Love's Guiding Light: Wisdom from 'Be Kind to One Another'
Lyrics
Be kind to one another
Encouragement to display kindness towards others
Jesus will show you how
Implication that following Jesus' example will illustrate kindness
Keep those words of life in your heart
Urging to internalize uplifting, life-giving words
So they spill right out of your mouth
Emphasizing the overflow of positive, encouraging speech from a heart filled with such words
Be gentle with your brother
Encouragement to treat others gently
Jesus will show you how
Linking kindness with Jesus' example
Choose to bless your enemies
Choosing to bless even those considered adversaries or opponents
Even those that live in your house
Extending kindness to people within one's own household
Jesus, You are the only One
Acknowledgment of Jesus' unique, unparalleled love
Who has loved with a perfect love
Recognizing Jesus' love as flawless and complete
The same Spirit that filled Your words and deeds
Attribution of the same divine inspiration to oneself
Has come to live in me
Assertion of possessing the same spiritual essence within
Be kind to one another
Reiteration of the call for kindness
Jesus will show you how
Reaffirming Jesus as the model for kindness
Let forgiveness be shown where it's never been known
Advocating forgiveness, especially in unfamiliar or difficult circumstances
Where no light has been until now
Bringing light and goodness to places previously devoid of it
Jesus, You are the only One
Reiteration of Jesus' exceptional love
Who has loved with a perfect love
Emphasizing the perfection of Jesus' love
The same Spirit that filled Your words and deeds
Attributing Jesus' spirit and actions to personal existence
Has come to live in me
Assertion of living with the same spiritual essence
Be gentle with your sister
Encouragement to treat sisters with gentleness
Jesus will show you how
Linking kindness with Jesus' guidance
If her trespass be real let her come further still
Allowing space for forgiveness and reconciliation
Lift her up where mercy comes down
Elevating someone who seeks mercy and understanding
Jesus, You are the only One
Reaffirmation of Jesus' exceptional love
Who has loved with a perfect love
Highlighting the perfection of Jesus' love
The same Spirit that filled Your words and deeds
Claiming the presence of the same spiritual essence within
Has come to live in me
Assertion of living with the same divine inspiration
Jesus, You are the only One
Reiteration of Jesus' exceptional love
Who has loved with a perfect love
Emphasis on the perfection of Jesus' love
The same Spirit that filled Your words and deeds
Attribution of Jesus' spirit and actions to personal existence
Has come to live in me
Assertion of living with the same spiritual essence
