The Proof of Your Love

Capo 3

Verse 1:

If I sing but don't have love

I waste my breath with every song

I bring an empty voice, a hollow noise.

If I speak with a silver tongue

Convince a crowd but don't have love

I leave a bitter taste with every word I say

Chorus:

So let my life be the proof, The proof of Your love

Let my love look like You and what You're made of

How You lived, how You died, Love is sacrifice

So let my life be the proof, The proof of Your love

Verse 2:

If I give to a needy soul

But don't have love then who is poor?

It seems all the poverty is found in me

Chorus:

So let my life be the proof, The proof of Your love

Let my love look like You and what You're made of

How You lived, how You died, Love is sacrifice

So let my life be the proof, The proof of Your love

Bridge:

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh; When it's all said and done

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh; When we sing our final song

Only love remains. Only love remains

Monologue: (Bible Verse: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3)

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy,

But don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.

If I speak God’s word with power, revealing all of His mysteries

And making everything as plain as day,

And if I have faith to say to a mountain jump and it jumps,

But I don’t love, I’m nothing.

If I give all I earn to the poor

Or even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr,

But I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere.

So, no matter what I say, no matter what I believe,

no matter what I do,

I’m bankrupt without love.

Chorus:

So let my life be the proof, The proof of Your love

Let my love look like You and what You're made of

How You lived, how You died, Love is sacrifice

So let my life be the proof, The proof of Your love
