Please read the message that follows after these lyrics to the song.
If I sing but don't have love
I waste my breathe with every song
I bring, an empty voice
A hollow noise
If I speak with a silver tongue
Convince a crowd but don't have love
I leave a bitter taste
With every word I say
So let my life be the proof
The proof of Your love
Let my love look like You
And what You're made of
How You lived, how You died
Love is sacrifice
So let my life be the proof
The proof of Your love
If I give to a needy soul
But don't have love then who is poor
It seems all the poverty
Is found in me
So let my life be the proof
The proof of Your love
Let my love look like You
And what You're made of
How You lived, how You died
Love is sacrifice
So let my life be the proof
The proof of Your love
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
When it's all said and done
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
When we sing our final song
Only love remains
Only love remains
(Monologue)
If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all of His mysteries and making everything as plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump" and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. If I give all I earn to the poor or even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, no matter what I believe, no matter what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.
Let my life be the proof
The proof of Your love
Let my love look like You
And what You're made of
How You lived, how You died
Love is sacrifice
So let my love be the proof
The proof of Your love.
"God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love, even when we were dead in our tresspasses, made us alive together with Christ --- By grace you have been saved." --- Ephesians 2:4-5
I sit here with an unveiled face reflecting the Lords glory as I am being transformed into His likeness with ever increasing glory which comes only from the Lord, who is the Spirit within me.
May you all, recognize the importance of love because we were created by LOVE and because GOD IS LOVE, our hearts can never really know what love is or be satisfied in any other way but by Him, who IS LOVE.
Remember... those with ears to hear will hear. The world will never totally approve of God's Word because satan will not allow it. But we, serving as God's army here on earth, approve wholeheartedly. So keep up the good works and keep the faith! Your path is not easy but well worth your efforts. As God will surely reward you for your faithfulness and your loyalty.
Shalom!
