Jesu, Jesu, fill us with Your love,
show us how to serve
the neighbors we have from You.

Silently washes their feet,
Master who acts as a slave to them. [Refrain]
2 Neighbors are rich and poor,
Neighbors are black and white,
Neighbors are near and far away. [Refrain]
3 These are the ones we should serve,
These are the ones we should love;
All these are neighbors to us and You. [Refrain]
4 Loving puts us on our knees,
Silently washing their feet,
This is the way we should live with You.

Silently washing their feet,
This is the way we should live with You. [Refrain] Scripture: John 13:1-17 Languages: English Tune Title: CHEREPONI
