Zema - Love Is The Greatest
Song
Lyrics
|
Biblical
Reference
|
Love is the greatest thing
It's the greatest thing of all
|
I
Corinthians 13:13 - And now
abideth
faith, hope, charity, these three; but
the greatest of these is charity.
[N.B.
The King James Version of the
Bible here uses the word 'charity' to
translate the Greek word 'agape',
elsewhere consistently translated
'love'.]
|
Though I speak with tongues
Of men and of angels
But if I have not love
I become a clanging cymbal
|
I
Corinthians 13:1 - Though I
speak
with the tongues of men and of angels,
and have not charity, I am become as
sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
|
Though I have prophecy
To understand all mysteries and knowledge
Though I have all faith
That I could remove mountains
But if I have not love
I am nothing
|
Matthew
17:20 - And Jesus said unto
them,
Because of your unbelief: for verily I
unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of
mustard seed, ye shall say unto this
mountain, Remove hence to yonder place;
and it shall remove; and nothing shall be
impossible unto you.
Matthew 21:21 - Jesus
answered and said
unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye
have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not
only do this which is done to the fig
tree, but also if ye shall say unto this
mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou
cast into the sea; it shall be done.
I Corinthians 13:2 -
And though I have
the gift of prophecy, and understand all
mysteries, and all knowledge; and though
I have all faith, so that I could remove
mountains, and have not charity, I am
nothing.
|
Though I bestow all my goods
To feed the poor
And though I give up my body
To be burned
But if I have not love
It profits me nothing
|
I
Corinthians 13:3 - And though I
bestow
all my goods to feed the poor, and though
I give my body to be burned, and have not
charity, it profiteth me nothing.
|
When I was a
child
I understood as a child
But when I became grown
I put away childish things
|
I
Corinthians 13:11 - When I was
a child,
I spake as a child, I understood as a child,
I thought as a child: but when I became a
man, I put away childish things.
|
Now I must
understand
That love is the greatest thing
Cuz if we don't give love
Everything is nothing |
