The Word of Life - 1 John 1: 1-4
The gospel has been made known
in our ears and in our eyes has been
showing it's power and it's sure effect
for it's to reach out it is so keen
This word of life is Jesus Christ Himself
He is eternal life which one can testify
for sent forth by the father in heaven
so this gospel's effect will be to purify
God's great purpose is to fellowship
with the people of God in sweet communion
together with the father and His son
proclaiming the wonder of God's union
Believers have the fathers fellowship in love
fellowship with the son of God in grace
and fellowship with the spirit in comfort
this word of life finds its sure place
John has written this for His own
believers with him that they know
a real living joy from the Lord
so complete to make one grow
(That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And we are writing these things so that our[a] joy may be complete.)
1 John 1: 1-4 (ESV)
