Hymn of Praise Unison ScriptureskoinoniA

How can I say that I love the Lord,Whom I never ever seen before,

And forget to say that I love the oneWho I walk beside each and everyday.

How can I look upon your face,And Ignore God’s love,

you I must embraceYou’re my brother, You’re my sister,

and I love you with the Love of the Lord.

Mark 12:28-31 nRSV

The First Commandment28One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the first of all?” 29Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; 30you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

ephesians 2:10 nkJV 10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
