Verse 1
Never had to work that hard for any class.
I could always find a way so that I’d pass.
I could conquer any quest.
If I just put forth my best,
I could master any test.
But
now I realize I’m really not that smart.
I’ve got a failing grade that’s marked upon my heart.
Whenever push gives way to shove,
Seems I always fall short of
What I know is true of love.
Chorus
Love is patient, love is
kind
Love forgiving all the time
Never envies, never boasts
Seeking others needs the most
Slow to anger, never rude
Shunning evil, clings to truth
Hopes and trusts in You above
For You are love.
Verse 2
When I try to love the way that You love me
I’m betrayed by my own weak humanity.
Then I’m diving in headfirst,
Try my best, and do my worst,
Always putting myself first
I
don’t need more information for my head.
What I need is more of You in me instead.
It’s not about what I can do.
Cuz only You can make me new
Oh Lord, what I need is you.
Chorus 2
Your love is patient,
love is kind
Your love forgiving all the time
Never envies, never boasts
Seeking others needs the most
You’re slow to anger, never rude
Shunning evil, clings to truth
I Hope and trust in You above
For You are love.
Bridge
Oh,
how can it be, This blessed mystery,
That you still love me eternally?
Oh Lord, let it be, The Love of Calvary,
Planted within me.
Final Chorus
Your love is patient,
love is kind
Your love forgiving all the time
Never envies, never boasts
Seeking others needs the most
You’re slow to anger, never rude
Shunning evil, clings to truth
I Hope and trust in You above
For You are love.
Counting
everything a loss
Except Your Love upon the Cross
Alive again out of the grave
Your ever-living love to save
Sending me your Holy Dove
Filling me with Holy Love
This is life from You above
For You are Love.
For You are Love.
