1 This is my will, my one command,
that love should dwell among you all.
This is my will, that you should love
as I have shown that I love you.
2 No greater love a man can have
than that he die to save his friends.
You are my friends if you obey
all I command that you should do.
3 I call you now no longer slaves;
no slave knows all his master does.
I call you friends, for all I hear
my Father say you hear from me.
4 You chose not me, but I chose you,
that you should go and bear much fruit.
I called you out that you in me
should bear much fruit that will abide.
5 All that you ask my Father dear
for my name's sake you shall receive.
This is my will, my one command,
that love should dwell in each, in all.
