I could chase after greatness

First to fall on my knees

Lose myself to be found

Where you want me

I could do all the right things

Sing the words till they bleed

But I know it's just noise

If I don't have love.

So I won't waste my breath

If it's not for love

I don't have the heart

If it's not for love

Don't let me say it's faith

If it counts no cost

'cause there's no fear in love

But there is a cross.

I could speak like the angels

Prophesy knowing all

I could live with the faith

To move mountains

And should I die like a martyr

Give my wealth to the poor

It would all scream loud-nothing

If I don't have love.

So I won't waste my breath

If it's not for love

I don't have the heart

If it's not for love

Don't let me say it's faith

If it counts no cost

'cause there's no fear in love

But there is a cross.

Be patient, be kind

Hold no envy or pride

Be the first to come last

For another

Never forced, slow to anger

Trust without keeping score

Long to suffer with truth

Love will never die.

Oh I won't waste my breath

If it's not for love

I don't have the heart

If it's not for love, no

Don't let me say it's faith

If it counts no cost

'cause there's no fear in love

But there is a cross.

Love will never die

But there is a cross.
