The Greatest Command

The Greatest Command as sung at Camp Hensel, June 12-17, 2011.
Alto: Love one another, for love is of God. He who loves is born of God; and knows God. He who does not love, does not know God. For God is love, God is love.
Bass: Love bears all things, Believes all things. Love hopes all things, Endures all things.
Tenor: God is love, God is love, God is love. God is love, God is love, God is love. God is love, God is love, God is love, God is love, God is love, God is love.
Soprano: Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, all thy strength,all thy might. Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, for God is love, God is love, God is love.

This was played at my Uncles funeral he passed in a tree accident in November and I couldn’t help but bawl when they started playing this at his funeral

[@mikefanofmovies]

"Thus says The Lord: Because My servants are slow to discern and yet resist My will, seeking rather their own way, choosing always to fulfill their own wants and desires, I shall speak once again. Beloved ones, how is it that each of you yet resist the other, and this on account of your own selfishness? The hour is late, the sun is setting below the horizon, and still I see no union. I see no sincere compassion; only pretense is brought forth, a vain attempt to hide from others that which remains lacking within yourselves. Beloved ones, stop lying to yourselves! When you come before Me, bring no pretense, nor make empty supplications while your hearts remain far removed. For I am He who sees, your Redeemer who knows. Rather make honesty your companion, and integrity your close friend, as it is written.[1] Beloved, call upon Me in sincerity and in truth, with a heart willing to do whatsoever I ask of you, eager to go wheresoever I send you. For again, I tell you, whatsoever you do for another you have done for Me. And when you forsake even the least of these, My beloved, you have forsaken Me.[2] Therefore, love is the chief matter; love is your reason for being, even as I am. Or have you so quickly forgotten this wisdom given to My servant, Sha’ul (also known as Paul)?... “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, yet am void of love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy and many mysteries have been uncovered before my eyes, having received great knowledge, and though I receive the fullness of trust by which even mountains are removed, yet am void of love, I am nothing. And though I give away my goods to feed the poor, even everything I own, and though I willingly give up my body to the fiery furnace, yet am void of love, I have accomplished nothing. For love is long-suffering and tender-hearted. Love does not envy. Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up, but remains humble. Love does not behave rudely, does not seek its own way, is not easily provoked, but forgives and keeps no record of past wrongs. Love does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices always in the truth. Love bears up and holds fast to that which is good; always hopes, always trusts, and is willing to endure all things. Love never fails. Yet prophecies will cease and tongues will grow silent; the knowledge of men will vanish away. For now we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when The Perfect comes then that which is in part will be no longer. For when I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child and I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know, even as I am known.” For three things abide, and are most needful: Trust, hope and love... Yet the greatest of these is love[3]... Says The Lord YahuShua." ~ "My sons, treat those of My body as you wish to be treated. Consider not what tomorrow may bring, nor dwell on that which has passed; embrace them as they are in this moment. For the one who stands in front of you is the person they are today. For who they were yesterday has passed away, and the person they will become tomorrow is not yet revealed. For you know not what tomorrow brings, nor do you truly know that which has passed. You know neither the heart or the mind, nor are you able to search the thoughts or look upon the innermost intentions. Therefore, treat all My beloved as you would treat Me. Embrace your brothers and sisters in Messiah as you would embrace Me, walking with Me as I am and not as you would have Me be. For it is written: According to the judgment with which You judge shall you be judged, And with the measure you use Shall it be measured back to you... Yet the servant who walks with Me Moment by moment, treating their Brother or sister as they wish to be treated, Shall walk free, unhindered... Their every reasonable service becoming a labor of love... Says The Lord." trumpetcallofgod.com

Our church sings acappella, I love it when this is the last song of the service because it stays in my head all day. What a beautiful song!

[@oOoScreamXxX]

This was sang on the day of my Baptism at my church. My best friend knew how much the song meant to me, so he requested we sang it during my baptism. The most beautiful moment of my entire life. My new family embracing me so close, as this played over the speakers. They felt so warm and so real.Thanks to my God for my church family. I need them and they need me. Being needed brings me closer to Him. I have been blessed with my family, my friends, and my girlfriend. Glory and honor... Forever.

[@brittanykaufman9394]

This is one of my favorite songs that was sung at my wedding.

[@jonnycat5083]

Growing in love is meaningful and worthwhile! Falling in love on the other hands ends with that love being broken! Because what falls, will fall and what grows actually will get stronger and most certainly will achieve amazing longevity!

[@diw9445]

They layering throughout the entire song is just absolutely BEAUTIFUL! And the reputation of the lyrics just further insinuates the message that we all should come to know. And that is that God is love. And those few words are extremely powerful! ♥

[@treyque7728]

used to sing this in youth group, just the alto & bass parts. It was much more of folk song or round. This is much more formal & majestic. My how things have evolved, glad it still exists. Pass it on.....

[@OliveMonkeys]

I love this song, we sang this at my baptism.

[@SacreligousTurkey]

ryzhkov_214 same here brother. The words of 1st John 4:7-8 will ring in my head forever.

[@TheoWren]

i remember singing this in church when i was a kid!! i never hear it anymore.

[@drtexdi]

Wow. I was looking for versions of this and found this. I am from Austin and Camp Hensel is my camp (growing up in the Ford Village/Southwest congregation)!

[@WornoutRNPARAMEDIC]

Yes, we love this song too. God bless you as you begin your new life in Christ. If you will remain faithful and close to HIM all your life, then when our LORD is through with you here, you WILL go on above to that "home that house not made with hands eternal in the heavens." Paul to the Corinthians. God be with and bless you.

[@Hypnotoad206]

actually if you look in the back of song books, they are actually there all the youth songs are there

[@PatrickRob82]

I'm not a Christian but I know in my heart of hearts that the universe was created... and that the creation and the creator is simply made out of love. Christians call it god, I call it the source and I pay homage to it... Being the simple minded human I am, I wouldn't presume to decide the complexities of the nature of the source, I simply try to live up to the love of which I am created. We are all made of, because of and for the purpose of love... how many of us act that way?

[@jeremiahjones5164]

PatrickRob82-capital G first of all ;-) and yea dude, God is what you can call him. He is the living God which means false gods are just something people prayed to because they knew there was a God but they didn't know that God is all around us and in Heaven which are all unseen. If you read the book of Genesis and the book of Matthew from the Holy Bible and at least try to believe it you should understand the truth. Try it out 👍
