(Verse 1) In a world that’s always rushing, trying to be the first in line Where we’re chasing after silver and wasting all our time I opened up the Good Book and I read it line by line About a different kind of treasure that’s harder now to find It don’t brag about its riches, it don’t have to raise its voice It’s a steady hand in the middle of the noise. (Chorus) Love is patient, love is kind It doesn't envy, it doesn't mind Taking the back seat while another takes the lead It isn’t proud, it’s the quiet strength we need It doesn't anger easy, it keeps no score of wrong It’s the grace that carries us when we aren't feeling strong The world may fade, and the seasons turn to gray But the love of the Father... it never fails. (Verse 2) It don't delight in the shadows or the secrets people hide It rejoices in the truth and it stands there by your side It’s the mama at the bedside when the fever’s running high It’s the neighbor hauling wood beneath a cold and winter sky It bears all things, believes the best, and hopes through every tear It’s the perfect kind of promise that casts away the fear. (Bridge) Prophecies may vanish, and the silver tongues will cease Knowledge is a vapor, but this Love will bring us peace When I was just a child, I talked like one back then But now I see the Father’s heart and I’m coming home again. (Chorus) ’Cause love is patient, love is kind It doesn't envy, it doesn't mind Taking the back seat while another takes the lead It isn’t proud, it’s the quiet strength we need It doesn't anger easy, it keeps no score of wrong It’s the grace that carries us when we aren't feeling strong The world may fade, and the seasons turn to gray But the love of the Father... it never fails. (Outro) Faith and Hope are staying, but the greatest of the three Is the Love that hung a long time ago upon a rugged tree Yeah, it never fails... No, it never fails.
