Our Declaration
That which was from the beginning,
In which we have seen and have heard;
Touched our hands in the sinning,
About life written in the Word.
Because life was made manifest,
As we have seen to testify;
Eternal life I can attest,
Never could I ever deny.
With the Father I bear witness,
That which we have seen and have heard,
That keeps our spiritual fitness;
As written in the Holy Word.
Our fellowship is with the Lord,
With the Father and through the Son;
For remaining in one accord,
All as part of the adoption.
I am writing all of these things,
So that our joy is complete;
As spiritual happiness brings,
Will cause the darkness a defeat.
