1 John

In the beginning he was the word 
This is a message you may not have heard
Walk in the light no need for disguise 
Truth in the heart tears away the lies
Don't claim the ways of dark deceit 
Walk in love make your joy complete 
Sin may call but his truth's revealed 
By his blood our fates are sealed 
Let's not love in mere word or talk
But in action as we choose to walk
Faith in motion gives life its worth
A love divine brings heaven to earth 
Perfect love will cast out fear
God is love and he's always near 
Born of him we keep his way 
Light in our hearts shines brighter each day 
We love because he first loved us
It's his spirit in whom we trust
From the darkness we're reborn we rise 
With love as the beacon lighting our skies 
Yo step into the light or dwell in the shade
The word is eternal it never will fade 
Brothers and sisters let love be your creed
In this broken world love is what we need
Walk in the truth don't stumble in the dark 
Every sentence in first John ignites the spark 
Test every spirit see what's divine 
The love of the father is the love that aligns
Don't talk about love if your actions are hollow 
Faith is a path it's more than just follow 
Whoever has hate can't claim they're awake
Loving our neighbor is the choice we make
Abide in the vine let your roots grow deep
Plant seed after seed until the harvest we reap 
If God is in you then love overflows 
Like a river of mercy it endlessly shows
We love because he first loved us
In the arms of grace we place our trust 
Perfect love it casts out the fear 
The message is clear his voice we hear
