Despair - aching slowly through your bones
You were never so alone
As when your life was all for you
Scared - oh so desperate to compete
Put down everyone you meet
Give them no chance to see through
The image that you're trying to believe
But it's so hard to deceive
When you know it isn't true
So where's the meaning in life
Drive yourself as you do?
Taking all you can get
Nothing in it for you
Where's the love in your life?
Now it's time to reach out
Time to let go and give
That's what life's all about
Pain - hanging heavy in your heart
'Cause it's time to make a start
Hard to face reality
Bored - we're more lazy than we know
When it comes to letting go
Of deluded vanity
Love - helping others to let go
You yourself will surely grow
Your potential self set free
Living love in your life
There's so much you can do
'Cause together we're one
While apart we are few
So where's the love in your life?
Now it's time to reach out
Time to let go and give
That's what life's all about
Where's the love in your life?
Time to let your love flow
Where's the love in your life?
Take the seeds and lets sow
Where's the love in your life?
You've got so much to give
Where's the love in your life?
Forget your ego and live
Where's the love in your life?
Where's the love in your life?
Where's the love in your life?
Ooh, let Jesus into your life
Where's the love in your life?
Ooh-hoo, where's the love in your life?
Where's the love? Let Jesus into your life!
Where's the love in your life?
Where's the love?
Where's the love in your life?
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
cf: Matthew 1:1-8, Psalm 51:10, Ezekiel 36:26, Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Philippians 1:6
