1-12
Everyone who believes
That Jesus is the Christ,
This honor he receives,
Honor that can’t be priced.

He’s born of God on high.
He loves Father and Son.
He’ll always do or die
Till God commands are done.

This is how we show love
To the Father above.
We obey His commands,
For lite are His demands.

This is our victory
That all the world can see.
This world we overcome
By our faith in the Son.

This is the one who came
By water and the blood.
Jesus Christ is His name;
Our world with love did flood.

Spirit and water-two,
And blood joins to make three.
They testify to you
On Jesus they agree.

He is God’s only Son.
They testify its true.
Believe He is the One
Who came and died for you.

God gave eternal life,
And this life’s in His Son.
In the Son you have life;
Outside Him you have none.

Verses 13-21

I write these things to you
Who believe in His name.
In Him you know its true,
To give you life He came.

Of this we can be sure,
Our prayer he’ll always hear.
In Him we are secure
If His will we revere.

If a brother you see
Not sinning unto death.
His intercessor be,
Do not withhold your breath.

Pray that he will have life,
And overcome his sin;
Gain victory over strife;
Be renewed from within.

All wrongdoing is sin,
But some is more severe.
Over most we can win,
If we will persevere.

We know those born of God
Will in sin not remain.
Evil can’t on them trod,
For they’re under God’s reign.

Children of God are we.
We’re under His control.
In this world we can see
Sin reigns from pole to pole.

But evil can’t undo
What Jesus did for me.
So I’ll ever be true,
And from idols keep free.
