Michael W. Smith's 'Love One Another' is a song inspired by a dream where a prophet gives a simple yet profound answer to the world's problems: love one another. The lyrics emphasize that this fundamental principle applies everywhere and can change the world. The song reflects on how love is becoming rare in a chaotic world, urging listeners to actively practice love. It echoes the biblical command from John 13:34 to love each other as Jesus loved.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
With a prophet from the land of wise
In a crowd of people from the land of troubled hearts
I said "We've come here for answers-
A solution to our world's demise"
He said the journey would be long
But here's where you start
Love one another
Love one another
Work it in and work it out
There could never be enough
Love one another
Love one another
'Cause you know without a doubt
You can change your world with love
It was a simple conclusion
But I thought that it was rather profound
Just a fundamental law that we should all live by
I took it in to tomorrow
Yea, I walked the earth but I never found
Any corner of the world
Where this did not apply
And looking out I saw no method to the madness there
Like in a vision from the Isle of Patmos, I was scared
It was a revelation
Love is getting rare
