1 John 1:7 (Amplified)

"But if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [His believers], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin."

Walking in the Light

To walk in the Light—what does it mean?

To live in the truth of things unseen.

Not hiding our hearts, not playing a part,

But letting His presence transform every part.

To walk in the Light means we are known,

Not just on Sunday, but on our own.

In the quiet moments, in the busy day,

His precepts guide our every way.

And when we stumble, when we fall,

When darkness whispers and tries to call,

The blood of Jesus, pure and true,

Keeps cleansing us and making us new.

Fellowship found in the brightness of grace,

Brothers and sisters, seeing face to face.

No masks, no shadows, no hidden shame,

For all are redeemed in Jesus' name.

So let us walk in the Light today,

Not perfectly, but faithfully, come what may.

For He who called us is faithful and just,

In His light, we live and trust.
