If I don't have love,
I'm like a resounding gong,
Aimlessly going round in circles,
A lifeless instrument that makes no noise.
Love never runs out of patience,
It overflows with kindness,
It is not envious, self-seeking or rude.
It says "I forgive you" and wipes the slate clean.
Love is happy when truth is out in the open,
It's a protective arm around your shoulders,
It isn't easily angered,
Detests evil and is never boastful or proud.
This is a special kind of love that comes
From God my Father in Heaven,
Who is completely trustworthy,
Deserving all of my praise.
