Love is not emotion welling up from deep inside
Love is having strength enough to put away your pride
Love is not abasing or absorbed in selfish spurn
Love is giving of yourself not asking in return
Love is patient love is kind
It does not envy nor does it boast
It is not arrogant or rude
Does not demand its own way
Love is not irritable does not resent
It does not exult in doing wrong
But rejoices in the truth
Love bears all things believes all things
It hopes all things endures all things
Love lasts forever without end
Faith hope and love these three abide
But the greatest of these is love
Love is not impassioned kiss or lover's sweet embrace
Love is showering a friend with dignity and grace
Love is not ensnared in callousness or disbelief
Love is sacrifice and trust despite old pain and grief
Love is patient love is kind
It does not envy nor does it boast
It is not arrogant or rude
Does not demand its own way
Love is not irritable does not resent
It does not exult in doing wrong
But rejoices in the truth
Love bears all things believes all things
It hopes all things endures all things
Love lasts forever without end
Faith hope and love these three abide
But the greatest of these is love
Love is not one sided just taking from another
Love is giving willingly fully to each other
Love is not ephemeral as fitful as the winds
Love is freedom in the truth because it never ends
Love is patient love is kind
It does not envy nor does it boast
It is not arrogant or rude
Does not demand its own way
Love is not irritable does not resent
It does not exult in doing wrong
But rejoices in the truth
Love bears all things believes all things
It hopes all things endures all things
Love lasts forever without end
Faith hope and love these three abide
But the greatest of these is love
Faith hope and love these three abide
But the greatest of these is love
The greatest of these is love
