The Proof of Your Love ~ For King & Country

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

When it's all said and done

When we sing our final song

Only love remains

Only love remains

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 his mysteries and

making everything 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 everything I own to the poor

and 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,

what I believe,

and what I do,

I'm bankrupt without love.

(1 Corinthians 13:1-7, The Message)
