Love That Remains

[Intro – soft, spacious] If I speak With the tongue of angels But have not love… I am only sound So let me be found In You [Verse 1 – gentle melody] If I know every mystery If I carry faith like flame If I move the highest mountain But forget Your name It is nothing Without You You are patient You are kind Never jealous Never blind You are steady Through the fire Pure and holy Heart’s desire [Chorus – simple, repeatable] Love never fails Love never fades When all else falls away Your love remains Through every rise Through every pain When all else fades Your love remains [Verse 2 – slightly fuller instrumentation] You are slow to anger Rich in grace You do not keep A record of mistakes You rejoice in truth You carry me You bear all things You cover me Hope that does not wither Faith that does not break Arms that hold me When I shake [Pre-Chorus – lift] When I see in part When I don’t understand You are the constant You are the I AM [Chorus – fuller] Love never fails Love never fades When the night surrounds Your light remains Through every doubt Through every strain When all else fades Your love remains [Bridge – minimal, almost spoken over soft drone] Now we see dimly Like a mirror in shadow But then… face to face Now I know in part But You know me fully You have always known And these three remain Faith Hope Love But the greatest… Is love [Final Chorus – airy, layered harmonies] Love never fails Love never fades From age to age The same You never end You never change When all is shaken Love remains
