Love (corinthians Ii:13) Lyrics - Mitchell Joni

Although I speak in tongues 

Of men and angels 

I'm just sounding brass 

And tinkling cymbals without love-- 

Love suffers long-- 

Love is kind!-- 

Enduring all things-- 

Love has no evil in mind 

If I had the gift of prophecy-- 

And all the knowledge-- 

And the faith to move the mountains 

Even if I understood all of the mysteries-- 

If I didn't have love 

I'd be nothing 

Love--never looks for love-- 

Love's not puffed up-- 

Or envious-- 

Or touchy-- 

Because it rejoices in the truth 

Not in iniquity 

Love sees like a child sees 

As a child I spoke as a child-- 

I thought and I understood as a child-- 

But when I became a woman-- 

I put away childish things 

And began to see through a glass darkly 

Where, as a child, I saw it face to face 

Now, I only know it in part 

Fractions in me 

Of faith and hope and love 

And of these great three 

Love's the greatest beauty 

Love 

Love 

Love
