Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a country song about love. This song is taken from Saint Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, 13:1-13.
Valentine Love Song Lyrics
Love suffers long, and is kindLove envies notLove causes not a stirLove is not puffed upLove does not behave unseemlyLove seeks not its ownLove is not easily provokedLove thinks no evil
Love does not rejoice in iniquityLove rejoices in the truthLove bears all thingsLove believes all thingsLove hopes all thingsLove endures all things
Love never failsWhere there are prophecies, they shall failWhere there are tongues, they shall ceaseWhere there is knowledge, it shall vanish
For we know in part, and we prophesy in partWhen the perfect comes, the part falls awayWhen I was a childI spoke as a childI understood as a childI thought as a childWhen I became a manI put away childish things
Now we see through a glass darklyBut then face to faceNow I know in partThen I will know as I am known
Now abides faith, hope, love — these threeBut the greatest of these is love
Love bears all thingsLove believes all thingsLove hopes all thingsLove endures all things
There are three: faith, hope, and loveThe greatest of these is love
