I've always loved 1st Corinthians Chapter 13

Love Divine
By Roger Anthony Mapes (lyrics interpreted from 1st Corinthians 13)

Although I speak with tounges of men and angels,
And though I prophesy and understand the world,

And though I have the faith to say to mountains
You must go away

But have not love?

And though I feed the poor and give of my life,
If love does not flow from me how great am I?

If I do not have charity, If love does not flow from me

Then what is life?

Chorus: Love Divine, Love Divine, Love Divine

Love is patient love is kind and love is wise,
Love can never come from a jealous mind.

Its never proud but gentle meek,
Resistance is not what it seeks,
It sets the mind at peace.

And love's the one that sings when the truth prevails.
Love believes in good when it looks like hell,

And love's the one who bears the wrong,
love's the one that's always strong

and never fails.

And when I was a child I acted as a child.
And now I can free myself from those lies.

The looking glass no longer dark,
I see the light that's shining there
within my heart.

Chorus: Love Divine, Love Divine, Love Divine

And when I was a child I acted as a child.
And now I can free myself from those lies.

The looking glass no longer dark,
I see the light that's shining there within my heart.

Chorus: Love Divine, Love Divine, Love Divine
