1 John 1:7
If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
I'd like to share with you a song I wrote based on this passage, along with 2 John 1:6 and Ephesians 5:2, which also speak of walking in Christ's light as well as his Love. The first time I heard this verse, the melody came to me immediately. When I looked up other passages on walking in Christ for further inspiration, they blended seamlessly in word and melody with 1 John 1:7.
WALK IN THE LIGHT
Walk in the light as he is in the light
Step away from the stairwell of sin
The winds of doubt blow my candle out
And darkness presses in
But if we walk in the light as he is in the light
we’re marching with saints, his blood make us right
Walk in the love as Christ also loves
A fragrant offering rise
Drank from the cup, gave himself up
as a Living Sacrifice
If we walk in the light as he is in the light
we’re marching saints, & his blood makes us right
Walk in the light as he is in the light
Through the valley of shadow of death
Obey his command, take his right hand
To the garden of Adam’s first breath
Oh if we walk in the light as he is in the light
we’re marching with saints, & his blood makes us right
Yes If we walk in the light as he is in the light
we’re marching with saints, & his blood makes us right
