Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them
(1 John 4:16; NIV).
1. I love you,
And you love me:
You sent your Son
To set me free.
2. You love me,
And I love you:
I’ll share our love
In all I do.
3. I love you,
And you love me:
You hear my prayers,
Each sigh, each plea.
4. You love me,
And I love you:
I’ll spread our love
Like falling dew.
