Love Love Is Patient |
|
Love, love is patient, love is kind |
It doesn’t envy, it doesn’t boast |
It is not proud |
|
If I speak in the tongues of men |
And of angels but have not love |
I am only a resounding gong |
Or a clanging cymbal |
|
If I have the gift of prophecy |
And can fathom all mysteries |
If I have the faith that move mountains |
No love I am nothing |
|
If I give all I possess |
To the poor and surrender |
My body to the flames |
But no love I gain nothing |
|
Love is not rude, it is not self seeking |
It is not easily angered |
It keeps no record of wrongs |
Love doesn’t delight with the evil |
But it rejoices with the truth |
[It protects, trusts, hopes and perseveres] |
