Love

Although I speak in
Tongues of men and angels, I'm just sounding brass
And tinkling cymbals, without love

Love suffers long
Love is kind
Enduring all things, coping all things
Love has no evil in mind

If I had the gift of prophecy
And all knowledge and the faith to move the mountains
Even if I understood all of the mysteries
If I didn't have love
I'd be nothing

Love never looks for love
Love's not puffed up or so touchy
Because it rejoices in the truth
Not in iniquity
Love sees like a child sees

As a child, I spoke as a child
I thought and I understood as a child
But when I became a woman
I put away childish things
And began to see
Through a glass darkly

Where as a child I saw it face to face
Now I only know it in part

Fractions in me
Of faith and hope and love
And of these great three
Love's the greatest beauty

Love
Love
Love
