(Verse 1)
Though I speak with tongues of men and angels too
But have not love, I’m just a clanging noise to you
Though I have the gift of prophecy and know all mysteries
And have the faith to move the mountains to the seas
If I have not love, I am nothing at all
Just a hollow echo, standing prideful and tall
(Chorus)
Love is patient, love is kind
It does not envy, it leaves pride behind
It is not rude, it’s not self-seeking in its way
It is not easily angered, come what may
It keeps no record of the wrongs that have been done
Love is the victory that’s already been won
(Verse 2)
Love does not delight in evil or the dark
But rejoices in the truth, it carries the spark
It always protects and it always will trust
It always hopes through the ashes and the dust
It always perseveres when the world falls apart
It’s the never-ending rhythm of a faithful heart
(Bridge)
Prophecies will cease and tongues will be stilled
Knowledge will pass when the promise is fulfilled
For now we see in part, like a glass that is dim
But then we’ll see clearly, face to face with Him
When I was a child, I spoke like one too
But now I’ve put away the old for the new
(Chorus)
Love is patient, love is kind
It does not envy, it leaves pride behind
It is not rude, it’s not self-seeking in its way
It is not easily angered, come what may
It keeps no record of the wrongs that have been done
Love is the victory that’s already been won
(Outro)
And now these three remain to guide us through the night
Faith, hope, and love, shining pure and bright
But the greatest of these, the one that will stay
Is the love that remains when the rest fades away
Yes, the greatest of these is love.
