For I am with you, says the Lord
Go forth now, hear my word
Follow in each my steps each day
For I the Life, the Truth, the Way
Continue, watch and pray
This be the message John declared
He with all peoples shared
That God is light, in Him no dar
Is found at all, unto Him hark
And His words truly mark
If we say we have fellowship
With Him, so say our lips
But if we walk in darkness we
Do lie, do not His true light see
Nor comforts to us be
But if we in the light do walk
In all our deeds and talk
Walk in the light, as Christ does sure
So His blood cleanses us e\'ermore
Redeems us, makes us pure
If we say we do have no sin
We deceive selves within
And the truth is not in us, so
Forgiveness then we shall not know
Blocked is the healing flow
The flow of Christ\'s blood, to us made
For He our debt has paid
If confessing to Him our sins
He that forgiveness, cleansing brings
Our soul to Him then sings
For faithful He is to forgive
To cleanse from sins, we live
And wash away unrighteousness
Thus with His grace He will us bless
As we our sins confess
We cannot hope another way
To find that light of day
If we do say we have sinned not
We retain then, unhappy lot
Our sin\'s stain like dark blot
