David Gambrell has written a beautiful chorus based on John 13:34-35, one of the suggested scripture texts for Maundy Thursday worship. It’s simple enough that the congregation would be able to learn and sing it quickly.
Love One Another
(based on John 13:34-35)
Solo:
Love one another as I have loved you,
love one another as I have loved you,
love one another as I have loved you:
this is my new commandment.
Congregation:
Love one another as Jesus loves us,
love one another as Jesus loves us,
love one another as Jesus loves us:
this is my new commandment.
— written by David Gambrell
