Lionel Richie - Jesus Is Love Lyrics

Jesus Is Love joins prayer, instruction, and confession around a single claim: the love of Christ is the source of help, wisdom, and salvation. The opening appeal asks the Father to protect children from falling away and to teach them mutual love. From there, the chorus answers with confidence in Jesus, while the later verses connect faithful living with resisting temptation, receiving divine guidance, and responding with gratitude.

The central phrase closely echoes the New Testament teaching that God is love and that love is revealed through Christ. The request that people love one another also parallels the command Jesus gives his disciples. Even when the lyric turns personal, its focus remains devotional: following the Lords leading, walking in fellowship with him, and doing what pleases him. The repeated names and declarations in the closing sections function as praise rather than argument. Together, these elements present Christian love as active care, steady guidance, thankful obedience, and enduring trust in Jesus.
