LOVE NEVER FAILS : 1Corinthians 13:3–8 KJV

V6-MINI

[Verse 1]

I could give away everything I own,
Feed every hungry soul,
I could lay my treasures at the feet of the broken,
Give until there's nothing left to hold.
I could sacrifice my body,
Give everything I have to give,
But if love ain't beating in my heart,
Then tell me, what is the reason that I live?

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause love ain't just a word we say,
It ain't a feeling that comes and goes away.
It's choosing someone when the road gets hard,
It's giving grace when they've gone too far.

[Chorus]

Love waits when patience gets hard,
Love stays when the world falls apart.
Love don't boast, and love don't pretend,
It doesn't keep a list of where you've been.
Love tells the truth, but it doesn't tear down,
It lifts the lost when they're lying on the ground.
Through every storm, through every trial,
Love keeps believing all the while.
And when everything else disappears,
Love remains through the changing years.
Heaven and earth may fade away,
But love will never fail.

[Verse 2]

Love doesn't look for its own way,
It doesn't need to win every fight.
It doesn't keep anger burning,
Or bring yesterday into tonight.
It doesn't celebrate somebody's falling,
Or find joy in another's pain.
It rejoices when the truth comes shining,
And helps a wounded heart stand again.

[Pre-Chorus]

Love is gentle when the words get sharp,
It's a little bit of heaven inside a human heart.
It forgives when forgiveness costs,
And reaches through the darkness for the lost.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

When the voices fade,
When the knowledge passes,
When the things we thought would last
Turn into ashes,
When every promise made by man
Falls beneath the weight of time,
There's one thing still standing
The love of God still shines.

It bears the burden,
It carries the pain,
It keeps on hoping through the pouring rain.
It doesn't surrender,
It doesn't let go,
It keeps believing in the soul it knows.

[Verse 3]

So let me love when it's difficult,
Let me forgive when I could walk away.
Let me speak truth with compassion,
And choose kindness every day.
Because someday all the things we treasure
Will be memories of another time,
But the love we gave to one another
Will be the part that still survives.

[Final Chorus]

Love waits when patience gets hard,
Love stays when the world falls apart.
Love don't boast, and love don't pretend,
It reaches for the broken again and again.
Love tells the truth, love chooses grace,
Love sees God's image in every face.
Through every storm, through every trial,
Love keeps believing all the while.
And when everything else disappears,
When the final day finally draws near,
Prophecies fade, and earthly knowledge ends,
But love will remain when everything else bends.

[Outro]

So give me a heart that knows how to love,
Not just with words, but with everything.
A love that's patient,
A love that's kind,
A love that reflects the heart of Christ.

For faith may carry me,
Hope may lead me,
But when all is said and done,
When every earthly thing has passed away

Love never fails.
Love never fails.
Love never fails.
