IJOHN 2;1-6

MY DEAR CHILDREN
I WRITE TO YOU
THAT YOU NOT SIN,
BUT IF YOU DO
WE HAVE ONE WHO
CAN GIVE YOU PEACE WITHIN.
THERE IS A PLACE FOR US TO RUN,
ITS JESUS CHRIST, THE RIGHTOUS ONE.

WHEN WE'VE DONE WRONG AND WE FEEL TENSE
OUR LORD WILL COME TO OUR DEFENSE.
WE NEED NOT FEAR, EACH CASE HE'LL WIN
HE'S PAID THE PRICE FOR ALL OUR SIN.

NOT ONLY WE BUT THE WHOLE WORLD
DESERVES TO BE INTO HELL HURLED
BUT JESUS PAID THE SACRIFICE
AND WON FOR ALL A PARADISE.

WE NOW CAN KNOW ITS ALL OKEY
IF HIS COMMANDS WE WILL OBEY,
BUT IF IT'S WORDS WE ONLY SAY
WE CLEARLY LIE AND MISS THE WAY.

BUT IF HIS WORD DOES GUIDE OUR FEET
GOD'S LOVE IN US WILL BE COMPLETE
WE'LL WALK IN LIGHT THAT WILL NOT DIM
AND WE WILL KNOW WE ARE IN HIM.

HIS TRUTH MUST BE OUR GUIDING LIGHT
WE MUST OBEY EACH DAY AND NIGHT.
OPEN YOUR LIFE KEEP NOTHING HID
BUT WALK IN LIGHT AS JESUS DID.


1JOHN 2;7-11


DEAR FRIENDS I NOW REPEAT TO YOU
AN OLD COMMAND, IT’S NOTHING NEW.
ITS ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT FROM THE START
A TRUTH FROM GOD'S OWN LOVING HEART.

AND YET ITS NEW THIS TRUTH I WRITE
FOR NOW IN THAT THERE IS NEW LIGHT.
ITS TRUTH IS SEEN IN HIM AND YOU
AS DARKNESS FADES TRUE LIGHT WE VIEW.

WE NOW CAN SEE ITS NOT ENOUGH
TO CLAIM THE LIGHT IS THE RIGHT STUFF,
IF IN YOUR HEART HATE DOES ABIDE
FOR A BROTHER WHOSE ON YOUR SIDE.

ITS ONLY THOSE WHO LIVE IN LIGHT
WHO STUBLE NOT IN THIS WORLDS NIGHT,
FOR THOSE WHO HATE, THE PATHS NOT KIND
THEY WILL GET HURT FOR THEY ARE BLIND.

O LORD I PRAY HELP ALL TO SEE
THE POWER OF CONSISTENCY.
OUR WALK AND TALK MUST BOTH AGREE
FOR US TO LIVE IN HARMONY.

DISCORD WILL SOUND, DARKNESS WILL BLIND
TRUTH WILL BE LOST WHERE NONE CAN FIND.
IF HATE WE CHOOSE AND LOVE BETRAY,
SO FILL US LORD WITH LOVE TODAY.


IJOHN2;12-14


1
DEAR CHILDREN I WRITE TO YOU
BECAUSE THERE'S NO DEBT THAT’S DUE,
YOU CAN NEVER BE THE SAME
FORGIVEN IN JESUS NAME.

DEAR FATHERS I WRITE TO YOU
FROM THE VERY START YOU KNEW,
HIM WHOM NOW YOUR CHILDREN LOVE
THE GOD OF LIFE AND ALL LOVE.

2
DEAR YOUNG MEN I WRITE TO YOU
TO GIVE PRAISE WHERE PRAISE IS DUE.
THANKING GOD FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE
TO OUTWIT THE EVIL ONE.

DEAR CHILDREN I WRITE TO YOU
BECAUSE THIS I KNOW IS TRUE,
GOD THE FATHER ON THE THRONE
IS BY YOU SO CLEARLY KNOWN.

3
DEAR FATHER'S I WRITE AGAIN
GRATEFUL THAT THERE ARE SUCH MEN,
WHO KNOW HIM, GOD FROM THE START,
AND WHO LOVE HIM IN THEIR HEART.

DEAR YOUNG MEN I WRITE TO YOU
BECAUSE GOD'S WORD LIVES IN YOU.
AND BECAUSE YOU ARE SO STRONG,
AND HAVE OVERCOME ALL WRONG.

4
LET US LOVE EACH OTHER THEN
SHARING GOD'S LOVE TO ALL MEN,
ESCAPING ALL DARK DEFEAT
LETTING GOD'S LOVE BE COMPLETE.

LOVE LIKE GOD HAS SHOWN TO US
IN GIVING THE LORD JESUS
THAT WE MIGHT FOREVER LIVE
BECAUSE HE THIS LOVE DID GIVE.

5
HERE'S THE POINT IN ALL I WRITE,
ALL ARE PRECIOUS IN GOD'S SIGHT.
THE YOUNG, THE STRONG, AND THE OLD;
EACH MEANS MORE TO GOD THAN GOLD.

ALL ARE OF GOD'S FAMILY,
AND HE WANTS THEM ALL TO SEE
EVERYONE MUST PLAY A ROLE
TO ACHIEVE GOD'S FINAL GOAL.


1JOHN 2;15-17


1
DO NOT LOVE THE WORLD
OR ANYTHING THEREIN,
THOSE WHO LOVE THE WORLD
HAVE NOT GOD'S LOVE WITHIN.

ALL THAT’S IN THE WORLD
IS NOT FROM GOD ABOVE,
FLAGS ARE THERE UNFURLED
THAT DESECRATE HIS LOVE.
SO DO NOT LOVE IT,
NOR ITS VALUES COVET.

2
SINFUL MEN JUST CRAVE
WHAT THEIR FLESH LUSTS AFTER
THEY BOAST AND THEY RAVE
WITH GREAT PRIDE AND LAUGHTER.

ALL THIS WORLD’S DESIRES
WILL SURELY PASS AWAY,
BUT HE WHO ASPIRES
TO ALL GOD'S WILL OBEY,
WILL LIVE FOREVER,
FOREVER WITH THE LORD.


IJOHN 2;18-23


1
NOW DEAR CHILDREN LISTEN TO ME
WE HAVE COME TO THE LAST HOUR,
AND IF YOU LOOK YOU CLEARLY SEE
ANTI-CHRIST IS HERE IN POW'R,

ANTI-CHRISTS HAVE GONE OUT FROM US
THEY REALLY DID NOT BELONG.
IF THEY REALLY LOVED OUR JESUS
THEY'D HAVE STAYED AND SUNG HIS SONG.

2
BUT YOU ALL HAVE AN ANOINTING
FROM THE HOLY ONE ABOVE.
YOU ARE PEOPLE HE'S APPOINTING
TO KNOW THE TRUTH OF HIS LOVE.

ANYONE WHO DENIES JESUS
IS THE LONG AWAITED CHRIST,
IS A LIAR TO DECIEVE US
HE'S A DANGEROUS ANTI-CHRIST.

3
NO ONE WHO DENIES GOD'S OWN SON
HAS THE FATHER IN HIS HEART,
BUT THOSE WHO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SON
WILL HAVE BOTH RIGHT FROM THE START.

BOTH THE FATHER AND SON ARE ONE;
THEY ARE ONE IN UNITY,
AND THEIR GOAL IS NOT EVER DONE
TELL THEY ARE ONE IN YOU AND ME.



IJOHN 2;24-29


1
SEE WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD FROM THE START
REMAINS IN YOU NEVER TO PART,
FOR IF IT DOES IN YOU REMAIN
ETERNAL LIFE WILL BE YOUR GAIN.

THERE ARE THOSE WHO WILL LEAD ASTRAY
SO LISTEN TO GOD'S VOICE WITHIN;
FROM YOUR SOLID TEACHINGS DON'T STRAY,
BUT BE EVER LOYAL TO HIM.

2
THE LORD WILL BE COMING AGAIN;
BE READY FOR WHEN HE APPEARS.
BE CONFIDENT WOMEN AND MEN;
BE UNASHAMED AND WITHOUT FEARS.

IF YOU KNOW THAT HE IS RIGHTOUS,
THEN YOU KNOW TOO IT IS NO WHIM,
EVERYONE WHO DOES WHATS RIGHT-PLUS
CAN BE JUDGED, CLEARLY BORN OF HIM.
