Bhagavad Gita - The Song of God - As It Is
Translated with explanations (purports) by A.C. Bhativedanta Swami Prabhupada and presented to the western world in the 1960's it is a gift from a deep and pure follower of the lineage of spiritual masters stretching back to Sri Krishna Himself. Prabhupada passes down unadulterated knowledge regarding the essence of life and the purpose of each individual being; that is to remember and reconnect one's loving relationship to the Supreme / God / Universal Truth.
God is a person who understands all languages, and has many names and forms, all for the expansion of love between Godhead and all of His expanded sons and daughters. Krishna's first expansion is Sri Radha who is non-different from God also - manifesting the divine feminine aspect of Godhead as His expanded pleasure potency. Sri Radha is the internal divine energy that engages one in divine service, and is addressed as Hare, in the Hare Krishna mantra:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
"Oh my Lord (Krishna as the form of God who is all-attractive) Rama (the Source of all strength and happiness), please engage me in your loving service.
This non-sectarian mantra/prayer is highly recommended in the present age, to free the mind and open the heart to God - the same Supreme Lord who sits in everyone's heart as a witness, friend and benefactor, who responds to each person/spirit soul from within and without.

BG 2.12 2.13 2.20. 2.22 10.10(Every soul/person is eternal and connected to the Supreme)
Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.
As the embodied soul continually passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. The self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a change.
For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.
As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, similarly, the soul accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.
To those who are constantly devoted and worship Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me.
God / Source / Universal love is eternal and steadfast. It's waiting for us to accept it's reality, and engage in a loving service mood, which brings forth confirmation of divinity's personal love for each being, from within each heart. For those wanting to tune into and appreciate Divinity in daily life, Sri Krishna mentions:
BG 7.8
O son of Kuntī [Arjuna], I am the taste of water, the light of the sun and the moon, the syllable om in the Vedic mantras; I am the sound in ether and ability in man.
As the sound in ether and ability in man, Krishna's energies work with us and through us, bringing messages of inspiration in many ways including music. Want proof? Stevie Wonder!
Personally, I hear the song and lyrics for "AS" as both the love we could have for each other, but more inclusively, the love the Supreme unfailingly has for all of His parts and parcels - meaning all of us as individual sparks of the Supreme Spirit - As One love, of One Source, shared by any and many who make that choice.
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always
As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
Do know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Always)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Always)
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea (Always)
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Did you know that true love asks for nothing?
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee?
To last through forever and another day
Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I'll be loving you always
As today I know I'm living but tomorrow
Could make me the past but that I mustn't fear
For I'll know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
'Cause I'll be loving you always
Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Always)
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away (Always)
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four (Always)
Until the day that is the day that are no more
(Did you know that you're loved by somebody?)
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left (Always)
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself (I'll be loving you forever)
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through (Always)
Until the day that you are me and I am you (Always)
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Always)
We all know sometimes life's hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet you life times that and twice its double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
So make sure when you say you're in it but not of it
You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren
And their great-great grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Loving you)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Loving you)
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea (Loving you)
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream (Be loving you)
Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Loving you)
Until the trees and seas up, up and fly away (Loving you)
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four (Loving you)
Until the day that is the day that are no more (Loving you)
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left (Be loving you)
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself (Loving you)
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through (Loving you)
Until the day that you are me and I am you (Now ain't that loving you)
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Ain't that loving you)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (And I've got to say always)
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea (Always)
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream (Always)
Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Always)
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away (Always)
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that is the day that are no more (Always)
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself (Always)
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
Until the day that you are me and I am you
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
Until the day that you are me and I am you
