Verse 1
I could speak with the tongue of men and angels
Love is the more excellent way
But if I don't have love, I'm just a clanging cymbal
Love is the more excellent way
I could have the faith to remove the mountains
Love is the more excellent way
But if I don't have love then I have nothing
Love is the more excellent way
Chorus
Love is patient, Love is kind
Love is Humble, all of the time
Not easily angered, enduring the test
So never forget
Love is the more excellent way (unison)
Verse 2
I could have the gift of prophecy
Love is the more excellent way
But if I don't have love, does it profit me?
Love is the more excellent way
I could understand all my mystery
Love is the more excellent way
But if I don't have love it's not enough you see
Love is the more excellent way
Verse 3
I could throw my body into the flames
Love is the more excellent way
But if I don't have love, I don't have anything
Love is the more excellent way
I could give to the poor everything I own
Love is the more excellent way
But a heart without love is just a heart of stone
Love is the more excellent way
