1 John 1:1-7 That which was there from the start Heard, and seen with our eyes Touched, and arrested our heart: The Word of life We've seen Him and testify Proclaim this eternal life Fellowship with the Father And Son, Jesus Christ This we declare God is light We join with Him there Our joy is complete If we are walking in dark We lie and don't live out the truth But if we will walk in the light We're purified This we declare God is light We join with Him there Our joy is complete Joy is complete

Restore us again O God of our salvation And put away all your indignation Will you be angry forever? Prolonging to all generations? Will you not revive us again May your people rejoice Show your steadfast love Will you not revive us again May your people rejoice And grant us salvation Steadfast love and faithfulness meet The kiss of righteousness and peace Faithfulness springs from the ground From the sky, righteousness looks down
3.
Beloved, I am writing you No commandment that is new But an old commandment that you had From the beginning The old commandment is the word The word that you have heard At the same time it is new True in him and in you The darkness is passing away The true light is already shining The darkness is passing away The true light is already shining Do not love the temporal All the things in the world Desires of flesh, desires of eyes The worldly pride of our lives The world is passing away The true light is already shining The world is passing away Whoever does the will of God lives on
4.
Have mercy Lord According to Your love From iniquity Will You wash me? You are all I need You are all I need Let Your mercy fall on me Let Your mercy cover me You are all I need You are all I need Let Your mercy fall on me Let Your mercy fall According to your great compassion Blot out all of my transgression Wash away iniquity From my sin, O Lord, cleanse me

See the love the Father gives That we should be his children Beloved, this is who we are And what we'll be is hidden But we know when he appears That we shall be like him We shall see him as he is And we'll put our hope in him By this we know love: His life was given We should give our lives for all his children Let us not just love in word or speaking But in deed and truth, his love revealing By this we'll know we're of the truth And reassure our heart before For whenever our heart condemns We know he's greater and knows all By this we know love: His life was given We should give our lives for all his children Let us not just love in word or speaking But in deed and truth, his love revealing This is his command: Believe in Jesus And love fellow man, do what pleases God abides in us and we abide By the Spirit given, love will reside

Romans 8:31-39 V1 Who shall separate us From the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress Danger or the sword? No, in all of these things We're more than conquerors Through Him who has loved us The One our heart adores V2 For I am fully convinced That neither death nor life Nor anything in the world Will take us from his love No, in all of these things We're more than conquerors Through Him who has loved us The One our heart adores V3 He did not spare His own Son But gave Him up for us all How will He not also with Him Graciously give us all? So, in all of these things We're more than conquerors And nothing can separate us From the love of God
7.
Beloved, let us love one another For love is from God Whoever loves is born of the Father For God is love Pre-Chorus: In this love was shown to us Not that we loved but He loved us Chorus: If God so loved us we should love one another Whoever loves God must so love his brother God has sent his Son to be Saviour When we were enemies Beloved, so let all our behaviour Show his love and charity Pre-Chorus Chorus: If God so loved us we should love one another Whoever loves God must so love his brother How can we claim to truly know the Father If we don't have this, this same love for each other?

Loved with everlasting love, Led by grace that love to know; Spirit, breathing from above, Thou hast taught me it is so. Oh, this full and perfect peace! Oh, this transport all divine! In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine. Heaven above is softer blue, Earth around is sweeter green; Something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen: Birds with gladder songs o’erflow, Flow’rs with deeper beauties shine, Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine. Oh this full and perfect peace In a love which cannot cease His forever, only His: Who the Lord and me shall part? Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart. Heaven and earth may fade and flee, Firstborn light in gloom decline; But, while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine. Oh, this full and perfect peace! Oh, this transport all divine! In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine.

His commandments are not burdensome For His children overcome Our faith is the victory We are the ones who believe Spirit and water testify And the blood of Jesus Christ These three all agree We are the ones who believe Chorus: We know whom we are from And the world is in the power of the evil one And we know that the Son of God has come And we have overcome With Him, overcome We don't continue in our sin He keeps us safe, secure in Him We are His children, we are free We are the ones who believe (Chorus) We are the ones who believe
10.
May he strengthen you From his glorious riches That Christ may dwell in you With power through his Spirit Be set in love That you may have power Together with the saints To grasp the greatness of his love Be filled with all his fullness Be set in love Now to him Who can do all things More than our imaginings Be all the glory
