The Word of life existed,
From the very beginning;
Just as Satan persisted,
That people keep on sinning.
We have heard it and have seen,
We have observed and have touched;
The things now and what has been,
The things that we even clutched.
For this life has been revealed,
As we see to testify;
The secret no longer sealed,
And we can never deny.
For eternal life God gave,
Is revealed to each of you;
Rescuing us from the grave,
For the ones who remain true.
This is the life we have heard,
And already read about;
As is written in His Word,
That should be shedding all doubt.
We are reporting to you,
To get a relationship;
And enabled to construe,
Understand and to get a grip.
Relationships with the Son,
Holy Spirit and Father;
For victory has been won,
To claim Christ as your Brother.
We write for joy to be filled,
And darkness turned into light;
What Jesus Christ has instilled,
Eternal life in your sight.
For God is faithful and just,
To forgive if we confess;
And avoiding sinful lust,
Through discipline He will bless.
