I could speak with tongues of angels, shout it from above,
Move the mountains with my faith—but it means nothing without love.
Give away everything I’m holding, even lay my body down,
But if my heart is empty, then it all just hits the ground.
Pre-Chorus
It’s patient, it’s kind, never jealous, never proud,
Doesn’t boast, doesn’t break, never pushes people down.
Chorus
’Cause love—love never fails,
Through the fire, through the storm, it prevails.
Faith and hope will lift us up,
But the greatest of these is love—yeah, the greatest of these is love!
Verse 2
Love won’t keep a record, never dances with the wrong,
Stands with truth, believes for better, holds you steady, keeps you strong.
It bears all things, hopes all things, every moment, every test,
When the noise of life is fading, love is what will stand the best.
Bridge
We used to see it dimly, like a mirror in the night,
But one day we’ll see clearly, standing in the perfect light.
Childish ways are falling as we rise to what’s above—
In the end three things remain: faith and hope, and greatest—love.
Final Chorus
Love—love never fails,
Through the highs and the lows, it prevails.
Faith and hope will lift us up,
But the greatest of these is love—
Oh, the greatest of these is love!
