love is patience

love is kindness

it does not envy, it does not boast

it is not proud, it is not crude

it is not selfish, it is not angry

it has no memory of fault

love does not delight in evil

but rejoices in the truth

always trusts

always protects

always persevere

love never fails

I know it's engraved in my heart

for me it's my backbone

but have not love I am nothing

but have not love I gain nothing

it's too easy to hate

I know, I've gone for the throat

do you know what it's like

love must be sincere

be rooted and bound in it

for this is what I know

God is love
