If I Don’t Have Love

Verse 1.a.

Tongues of men and angels are nothing if I don’t have love
Fathoming all mysteries nothing if I don’t have love
Prophecy and knowledge are nothing if I don’t have love
All things are vain and empty if I don’t have love
All things are vain and empty if I don’t have love

Verse 1.b.

Faith to move the mountains is nothing if I don’t have love
Giving to the needy is nothing if I don’t have love
My body given to the flames nothing if I don’t have love
All things are vain and empty if I don’t have love
All things are vain and empty if I don’t have love

Chorus 1

God change me! Send help from Your throne above!
Recreate me! Guide my heart in the way of love! In the way of love!

Verse 2

Where there is knowledge it will pass away but never love
Prophecy will pass away but never love
Tongues they too will pass away but never love
These things will stop, yes they will cease but never love
These things will stop, yes they will cease but never love

Chorus 2

God save me! Send power from Your throne above!
Remake me! Guide my feet in the way of love! In the way of love!

Love is patient, love is kind, always humble, hates the pride
Love it always perseveres, in evil does not delight
It does not brag, it does not boast, it always trusts, it always hopes
It never fails, it never fails
Love protects, it is not rude, always endures, it presses through
It keeps no record of the wrongs, love rejoices in the truth
It goes on for eternity, it does not stop, it does not cease
It never ends, it never ends
Love never ends
