81   Thou I Speak With Tongues




[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.
