Lyrics
Verse 1
I’ve seen tempers flare, hearts pulled apart
Words thrown like stones, tearing love apart
But You remind me what love really is
Not loud, not proud, but gentle in the midst
Pre-Chorus
So I breathe, and I pray
Teach me again, Lord, show me Your way
Chorus
Love is patient, love is kind
It does not envy, it does not boast
Love is patient, love is kind
It is not proud, does not dishonour others
Love is patient, love is kind
It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered
Love is patient, love is kind
Let this be my heart
Hook
Love is patient, love is kind
Let this be my heart
Loving and patient
Verse 2
You could’ve condemned me, but You chose grace
Not envy, not boasting, You took my place
Your love never fails, it stands and waits
With kindness and mercy at every gate
Pre-Chorus
So I yield, and I learn
To love like You, with no concern for return
Chorus
Love is patient, love is kind
It does not envy, it does not boast
Love is patient, love is kind
It is not proud, does not dishonour others
Love is patient, love is kind
It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered
Love is patient, love is kind
Let this be my heart
Hook
Love is patient, love is kind
Let this be my heart
Loving and patient
Bridge
It’s not about me, not about gain
Not about lifting my name
It’s the quiet way You love
No envy, no pride
Chorus
Love is patient, love is kind
It does not envy, it does not boast
Love is patient, love is kind
It is not proud, does not dishonour others
Love is patient, love is kind
It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered
Love is patient, love is kind
Let this be my heart
Hook
Love is patient, love is kind
Let this be my heart
Loving and patient
Ending
Love is patient, love is kind
Etched forever in this heart of mine
