If I speak in tongues of men
Verse 1
If I speak in tongues of men And angels that are heaven sent, To treasure gifts this child enjoyed Without love I only pass As clanging cymbals and sounding brass; To give a sound, yet life devoid.
If by prophecy I’d share, Mysteries sages would declare, All my knowledge won’t compare to love; For only love prevails.
If by prophecy I’d share, Mysteries sages would declare, All my knowledge won’t compare to love; For only love prevails.
Chorus
Love, love, love prevails. Whether tongues will cease or knowledge fails, We know in part what will be unveiled. God is love, and only love prevails. Love prevails, Only Love prevails.
Verse 2
If my faith makes mountains move, And loveless works my power prove, Would it ever mean a thing? If I dole out all I own To feed the hungry in lands unknown, Would my boast a profit bring?
Love is patient; love is kind; Jealous boasting, love declines. On account of evil love is blind, For only love prevails.
Love is patient; love is kind; Jealous boasting, love declines. On account of evil love is blind, For only love prevails.
Chorus
Love, love, love prevails. Whether tongues will cease or knowledge fails, We know in part what will be unveiled. God is love, and only love prevails. Love prevails, Only Love prevails.
