Only Love Prevails

If I speak in tongues of men

And angels that are heaven sent

To treasure gifts this child enjoyed

Without love I only pass

As clanging cymbals and sounding brass;

To give a sound

yet life devoid.

If by prophecy I’d share

Mysteries sages would declare

All my knowledge won’t compare to love;

For only love prevails.

Love

love

love prevails.

Whether tongues will cease or knowledge fails

We know in part what will be unveiled.

God is love

and only love prevails.

Love prevails

Only Love prevails.

If my faith makes mountains move

And loveless works my power prove

Would it ever mean a thing?

If I dole out all I own

To feed the hungry in lands unknown

Would my boast a profit bring?

Love is patient; love is kind;

Jealous boasting

love declines.

On account of evil love is blind

For only love prevails.
