I don't know about you
But knowing the rules helps me know how to act and what to do
I think that's a pretty normal, human thing
to want to know everything
Sometimes rules can be confusing
and not make much sense
If we mess up
we're quick to get on the defense
I think God knows how overwhelming it can be
and made it easier on you and me
When asked "What is the most important commandment or rule?"
Jesus takes us to school!
Jesus makes it so simple, He explains it all
It comes down to LOVE for all.
Love God with your whole heart
So your love and God's love, it'll get all mixed up, never to part
The next thing to do
is love your neighbor like you love you
To love someone like you love yourself
means helping shorter friends reach the highest shelf
It means what great things you want for you and your friends
You also want for someone at the line's end
Because our neighbors, you see
aren't just people who look or believe like you or like me
Our neighbors are everyone
Black, brown, white, big, small
2 moms, 2 dads, or no parents at all
No matter where someone lives, goes to church or goes to school
Sharing God's love comes from an overflowing pool
The more you love God
the more Love you have to give
for as long as you live.
So when learning about God and the world
don't get too confused or let your brain get all swirled
Because Jesus made it clear
and spoke right to our ear
Love God and everyone else
Put on your love gear! Love glasses and love hats!
The rest of the rules make more sense
when you do just that.
