Friends family every one

Gather 'round the table, friends and family

Take a look around at everyone you see

Sometimes we get caught up in our own desires

Chasing down the wind and building our own fires

Let's just take a moment, let the quiet fall

And remember what the Savior did to save us all

For God so loved the world, He gave His only Son

A promise of salvation for each and every one

Yeah, John 3:16 is the light that guides our way

He loves us one and all, every single day

So let's treat each other better, let His spirit shine

Leaving all the shadows of ourselves behind

When you see a neighbor struggling down the street

Do you offer kindness to the folks you meet?

Are we walking in His footsteps, doing what is right?

Or just following our own way, staying out of sight?

It’s a simple question we all have to face

Are we obeying our own will, or living in His grace?

For God so loved the world, He gave His only Son

A promise of salvation for each and every one

Yeah, John 3:16 is the light that guides our way

He loves us one and all, every single day

So let's treat each other better, let His spirit shine

Leaving all the shadows of ourselves behind

It doesn't matter who you are or where you've been before

His mercy is an open and inviting door

Let’s lay down our selfish pride, let heaven be the guide

With Jesus as the anchor, walking by our side

'Cause God so loved the world, He gave His only Son

A promise of salvation for each and every one

Yeah, John 3:16 is the light that guides our way

He loves us one and all, every single day

So let's treat each other better, let His spirit shine

Leaving all the shadows of ourselves behind

Yeah, He loves us one and all, let His spirit shine
