How to do church Part 18: love tracks

Where is the love?  – Black Eyed Peas

Everything I do and say is meaningless without love. If I have all the right words, but don’t love, I’m nothing. If I’m a good communicator, but don’t love, I’m nothing. If I’m generous and share all I have, but don’t love, I’m nothing. Even if I get treated badly for what I believe, but don’t love, I’m nothing.

No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m nothing without love.

I want to know that love is – Foreigner

Love is patient, love is kind. Love cares more for others than for self.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.

It does not dishonour others, doesn’t force itself on others.

Love is not self-seeking. It isn’t always ‘me first’.

It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

Love always looks for the best – always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

My endless love – Diana Ross and Lionel Richie

Love never gives up, never fails, never dies.

Everything else will pass away. It will all fade away and disappear.

All that remains is love.

Love wins.

Love is all you need – Beatles

Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly.

And the best of the three is love.
