Although I speak in tongues Of men and angels I'm just sounding bra** 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 gla** 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
