Lyrics

Chorus:
Let me wash your feet,
although I am the Master;
Let me wash your feet,
now go and do the same.

If there is love among you,
all will know you follow me.
I give a new commandment,
That you love as I love you.

Let faith and hope and love, live,
With the greatest being love.
So take my new commandment,
Go and love as I love you.
