Lyrics
Devon Graves
1 Corinthians 13
I wanna love without saying a word,
without wearing a mask, without building a wall
Shouting does not guarantee you are heard
The words burn in the atmosphere as they fall
True love has no defense
It cannot stay at an arm’s length or sit on the fence
It wades into the fray to take a bullet in the place of the one
That’s holding the gun
Love is patient
it holds on tight when the train derails
Love hopes all things, bears all things, believes all things
Love never fails
I wanna love without guarding myself,
without strapping on armor or wielding a sword
To lay down, defenseless, believing the best
Not keeping track of who’s winning, who’s lost or who’s scored
True love is kind,
It does not tally when it has been wronged or maligned
It knows its closest friends will betray
And it stands by them faithfully anyway
Love is patient
it holds on tight when the train derails
Love hopes all things, bears all things, believes all things
Love never fails
Love endures
it stands firm in the rain, the wind, the hail
Love will never give up; love will never fail
Faith, hope and love will abide
Faith, hope and love will abide
Prophecy will pass away
Language and knowledge will pass away
But faith, hope and love will abide
I wanna love without saying a syllable
Trusting my actions to speak on my part
Behavior is louder than that which is audible
Revealing most clearly the state of the heart
