WE HAVE SEEN THE WORD OF LIFE
1. We have seen the word of life. we have seen it with our eyes,
we have heard it with our ears,
we have touched it with our hands.
2. We have seen the word of life, and the word became a man,
he was full of grace and truth, he has made God's glory known.
3. We have seen the word of life. he is Jesus, God's own son,
and he died to save us all
to forgive us for our sin.
4. We have seen the word of life, he reveals the truth of God,
and we have no need to hide
— we are living in his light.
Repeat Verse 1
|
1985. The opening of the First Letter of John and of John's Gospel provide the words for this song. The melody and style owe something to Indian music. Close vocal harmony helps the song along. The New Testament writers are very keen to assert the historical basis of our faith, and John is very consistent in his assertion that the man Jesus is "The Word of Life" - the eternal God. |

Back from a Break
During September, Dorothy and I travelled
to Norway and the UK.
After long flights
- Adelaide to Melbourne,
Melb to Dubai (14 hrs),
Dubai to Oslo (7 hrs) -
we did Norway in a nutshell
from Oslo to Bergen, then
the Hurtigruten Cruise
up the west coast of Norway
and back again.
Then an 8 day Trafalgar tour
and 4 days in London,
before taking the direct flight
(16 3/4 hrs)
from Heathrow to Perth.
We're a bit tired (!) but we'll still be a part
of the LWA convention and the
General Convention .
See some of you there.
