Show me how to really love
In a way that's strong and pure,
A selfless love that bears all
A love that's real and sure.
Teach me Lord a patient love
A love that suffers long,
Is pleased to wait for the sake of others
A love that brings a song.
A love suppressing envy
And is forever kind,
Expressed in action, not just words
I long this love to find.
In heart never self seeking
But desires just to give,
Never proud or quick to boast
I pray this love to live.
A love not easily angered
Is tolerant and forbears,
Keeps no records of others wrongs
Forgiveness willingly declares.
It does not delight in evil
But rejoices in the truth,
Is honorable, just and gracious
This love I want to prove.
Inspired by 1 Corinthians 13
