Lyrics
Love is patient, love is kind
Knows not envy, knows not pride
Does not dishonor, not self-seeking,
does not anger, Keeps no list
of wrongs and rights
but Lord, I fall short, I fall short
You define perfect love
and I don't live up to it
Lord, I fall down, I fall down
But I can get back up and try
because You've shown me what it is
Perfect Love, Perfect Love
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices in the truth
always protecting, always trusting,
always hoping, stops at nothing,
always sees it through
Perfect Love, Perfect Love
You've shown me
Perfect Love, Perfect Love
And now these three remain,
faith, hope and love
But love is the greatest
And now these three remain,
faith, hope and love
But love is the greatest
The greatest is love
CHORUS
