Lyrics

Verse 1

If I speak with angels’ tongues

But in my heart I have no love

What am I but clanging sound

If in my heart no love is found?

Chorus 1

Though I give my life away

Have a mountain-moving faith

 But I do it without love

What is this heart boasting of?

Verse 2

Love is patient, love is kind

What an awesome thing to find

Love is wronged but keeps no list

Where can I find love like this?

Chorus 2

Love does not rejoice in pain

Keeps no score of evil’s game

Love that bears that hopes, believes

Is there even such a thing?

Bridge

This is love, this is love, this is love, love of God

This is love, this is love, this is love, love of God

This is love, this is love, this is love, love of God

Verse 3

Through the tears I finally see

Such a love was shown to me

God’s enemy deserved no grace

But for me the highest price

Chorus 3

Death of God’s most precious Son

Bought me pardon, grace, and love

The only love so priceless, true

Comes from God to spill on you

Verse 4

If my own self is done away

Love shines through from Jesus’ face

Love took thorns and whips and nails

This is love that never fails

Tag 

Love took thorns and whips and nails

This is love that never fails
