If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
lyrics
To wait, to wait, say it's never too late//To sit all night and speak with our sighs//The groans of lovers, miles apart//Speaking silent solaces into their hearts//Oh, oh, 'cause this love is true//You know that I'll still love you//Oh, anything you do//You know that I'll still love you//The cross, our cross, it was never a loss//I'll do what I do, because it's never too much for you//Leave with my robe//Leave with my gold//Leave with my armor and all that I know//In response to all of your words//I'll sing you the truest love song you've ever heard//Oh, oh, 'cause this love is true//You know that I'll still love you//Oh, anything you do//You know that I'll still love you
