Love: The Greatest Gift
LOVE: THE GREATEST GIFT
The gifts of faith, and hope, and love
Come from our Father up above,
But I am sure we can agree;
Love is the greatest of the three.
For love is kind, it suffers long,
And does not treat it’s neighbor wrong.
No arrogance in love, you’ll find.
No selfish thoughts come into mind.
Love is not envious with lusts;
Does not, in worldly riches, trust.
Love is not rude, does not offend;
Does not think evil of a friend.
True love believes and bears all things;
Fulfillment of God’s law, it brings,
In truth, rejoicing every day;
In hope, which is the only way.
Our knowledge will all pass away,
But love endures; It’s here to stay.
Let’s strive to be like God above,
For this we know: Our God is love.
