Something that we have seen with our own eyes;
Something that we have watched and touched with our hands.
What we have seen and heard, we give to you,
So that you too may be deep in our God,
so that you too may be deep in our God.
1 This is what we have heard from God,
And the message we announce to you;
God is light, truly light,
There can be no darkness in God.
2 We place our faith in what we know,
In the love God has towards ourselves.
God is love, and God lives
In anyone who lives in love.

Lyrics
Chorus:Something that we have seen with our own eyes;
Something that we have watched and touched with our hands.
What we have seen and heard, we give to you,
So that you too may be deep in our God,
so that you too may be deep in our God.
1 This is what we have heard from God,
And the message we announce to you;
God is light, truly light,
There can be no darkness in God.
2 We place our faith in what we know,
In the love God has towards ourselves.
God is love, and God lives
In anyone who lives in love.
