If I Have Not Love

Verse 1:

If I speak in many tongues

in foreign ones and angelic ones,

without love I am noise, just noise to you

If I speak and the lame walk

the mute talk and the people gawk

without love, I'm just noise, just noise to you

Pre-chorus 1:

Sharing your scars, without your heart

is to give without meaning

To do what you've done just isn't enough

unless your heart in mind is beating

Chorus:

If I have not love, I have not grace,

Ooh, then I've nothing at all

It never fails or fades away,

though all else may fail one day

If I have not love, if love's not mine,

then all is wasted and lost

And all my strength, and all my pride

is now but counted as loss

Verse 2:

If I speak of mysteries

reveal what others cannot see

without love I am noise, just noise to you

Or if I'm martyred, burned at the stake,

or live with the poor in Jesus' name

without love, I am noise, just noise to you

Pre-chorus 2:

Sharing your scars, without your heart

is to give without meaning (without love)

To do what you've done just isn't enough

unless your heart in mind is beating

Chorus:

If I have not love, I have not grace,

Ooh, then I've nothing at all

It never fails or fades away,

though all else may fail one day

If I have not love, if love's not mine,

then all is wasted and lost

And all my strength, and all my pride

is now but counted as loss

(Instrumental bridge)

Chorus:

If I have not love, I have not grace,

Then I've nothing at all

It never fails or fades away,

though all else may fail one day

If I have not love, if love's not mine,

then all is wasted and lost

And all my strength, and all my pride

is now,

If I have not love, I have not grace,

Ooh, then I've nothing at all

It never fails or fades away,

though all else may fail one day

If I have not love, if love's not mine,

then all is wasted and lost

And all my strength, and all my pride

is now but counted as loss

If I have not love (repeat till the end)
