Abiding in Love

Though I babble in angelic tongue and
Dabble in evangelic binge
If I lack the love within
I’ll be a tasteless muffin
A tinkering cymbal
A satanic symbol
A sounding brass
And a lifeless bass.
Though I am a great prophet
Seeking not the worldly profit
Capable of understanding the Biblical mysteries
and a great authority on Worldly knowledge and histories
Possessing mountain moving faith
and capable of issuing a spiritual fiat
I’ll be like discarded mulch
And lacking love within, I’ll be a value less zilch
Though I give away all my wealth for charity
And on behalf of all the penniless paupers I stand as surety
Though I hesitate not to offer my body to be burnt alive
And for the glory of my crucified Lord, even seven seas I may dive
It won’t yield me an iota of the bliss and blessing
If I lack the love within, even though I praise Him and sing
For, my faith, my hope and my love would stand His divine test
Amongst them, love is undoubtedly, the Greatest!
