Love Goes On Bernadette Farrell
Verse 1
Love is patient, love is kind,
never ending, never ending;
slow to anger, rich in mercy,
love goes on beyond all time.
Verse 2
Love is faithful, love is true,
ever joyful and forgiving;
love endures when life is over,
love is old and love is new.
Verse 3
Love alone has shaped our soul,
and our hearts are always restless
until love becomes our purpose,
new creation to unfold.
Verse 4
Love our journey, love our goal.
Though our faith may move the mountains,
love alone can heal the broken;
only love will make us whole.
Verse 5
Love, our Savior's one command:
"Love the way that I have loved you,"
with a towel and a basin,
washing feet with servant hands.
Verse 6
There are three gifts that remain
when all other things have perished.
Only faith, hope, love enduring,
and the greatest gift is love.
