Annie Herring Without Love
If I give all I possess
To the poor who have less
Without love in my heart
I have done nothing
If I surrender to flame
My whole life in Your name
Without love in my heart
I am but nothing
If I have sweet words of prophecy
And fathom all of life's mysteries
And by faith moves the skies above
But there's no life without love
If I speak in tongues of men
And of angels and then
Have not love in my heart
I have said nothing
For love is patient and kind
Never jealous or blind
Does not boast in itself
Or act unbecoming
Prophetic words will all pass away
If there are tongues, they will cease someday
For words and knowledge I have in part
I need His love in my heart, in my heart
Perfect love in my heart
Love believes, hopes and bears
And endures through all cares
Never fails to delight, rejoicing in others
Always there to embrace
Broken hearts with its grace
Holding out life for all to discover
Ooh, I need Your love to come over me
And keep my eyes on eternity
Change from a bell to a symphony
Whose only song is Your love
Perfect love from Your heart to my heart
