81- Thou I Speak With Tongues
God the Father: Love of God
1
- Though I speak with tongues of men and angels,
- Though I have the prophet's gift,
- Though I hold the keys to hidden knowledge,
- Though my faith can mountains shift:
- Without love I am no better,
- Without love it's all for naught;
- Lord, You spent Your life in loving others:
- What this means I would be taught.
2
- Love is patient, knows no envy,
- Never gloats when others sin;
- Love is never glad to see injustice,
- Always wants the truth to win.
- There's no end to love's endurance,
- There's no test it cannot face;
- Lord, You spent Your life in loving others:
- I shall fail without Your grace.
3
- Though there'll be an end to hidden knowledge,
- Visions, raptures, prophecy:
- Faith and hope and love shall last forever,
- Love the greatest of the three.
- Without love I am no better,
- Without love it's all for naught;
- Lord, You gave Your life in saving others:
- What this means I would be taught.
