Beloved that which was from the beginning.
Which we have heard.
Which we have seen from the beginning.
Which we have touched with our hands and not just heard.

The life was made manifest.
And we have seen it.
And proclaim to you the eternal life made manifest.
And we testify to it.

We proclaim to you the eternal life.
Which was with the Father.
Now we ourselves hope for eternal life.
And we seek it with son and Father.

We follow St John.
And we know our inspiration is St John.

……

From the beginning
The word was made manifest
Our inspiration
