1 John 1 v.5-7

This from God it be the message
Needs no fancy form or dressage
\'Tis that God is light, in Him be
No darkness at all, here see
Though humans cannot full clear see
His light of actuality
Yet shown through the Son, imparted
To the discerning-hearted
If we say we have fellowship
With Him, and comfort, and friendship
And at same time live in darkness
We lie, and He will not bless
For such are not living truly
Nor do they obey Him duly
But if we live in the light we
Shall by Him blessed sure shall be
If living in the light as He
Lives in the light, this standard see
Then we do have fellowship, meet
With one another, \'tis sweet
And then too the blood of Jesus
Christ, God\'s Son, it does full cleanse us
From all sin, we living holy
Children in God\'s light we be
