No Greater Love

Michael Joncas

Ref:
There is no greater love, says the Lord,
than to lay down your life for a friend.
There is no greater love, no greater love,
than to lay down your life for a friend.

As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Live on in my love.
You will live in my love if you keep my commands,
even as I have kept my Father's

All this I tell you that my joy may be yours and your joy may be complete.
Love one another as I have loved you: This is my command.

You are my friends if you keep my commands; no longer slaves but friends to me.
All I heard from my father, I have made known to you: Now I call you friend.

It was not you who chose me, it was I who chose you,
chose you to go forth and bear fruit.
Your fruit must endure, so you will receive all you ask the Father in my name.
