Without love

 all we think our lives

 are worthy of

 profit us nothing 

Love suffers long

does not keep a record

of wrongs

Love is kind

allows no evil thoughts

to enter it's mind

When it sees it's brother blessed

it envies not his happiness 

yes

.....for so long love seemed

but a mist covered, distant,

unattainable dream

till love reached out

his nail scarred hand

and rescued this fallen man....

Oh, love does not misbehave! 

Rejoices not in things depraved

reaches out to all to save

Jesus still weeps today 

Love does not our hearts puff up

but humbles us when he comes to sup

Love bears me over

the river of filth

i once was drowning in 

Love gave his blood

to cover my

rebelliousness and sin

Love believed in me

when i didn't believe in love

Love continues to hope for my best

when all hope has left my breast

Love continues to love me

when all i deserve is death

Love endures,  is strong and sure,

when i am frail

For love, my God,

                                  NEVER FAILS
