40 Day Prayer Commitment Day 28

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
