Although I speak in tongues

of men and angels

I'm just sounding brass

and tinkling cymbals without love

Love suffers long

Love is kind!

Enduring all things

Love has no evil in mind

If I had the gift of prophecy

And all the knowledge

And the faith to move the mountains

Even if I understood all of the mysteries

If I didn't have love

I'd be nothing

Love never looks for love

Love's not puffed up

Or envious

Or touchy

Because it rejoices in the truth

Not in iniquity

Love sees like a child sees

As a child I spoke as a child

I thought and I understood as a child

But when I became a woman

I put away childish things

And began to see through a glass darkly

Where as a child I saw it face to face

Now I only know it in part

Fractions in me

Of faith and hope and love

And of these great three

Love's the greatest beauty

Love

Love

Love
