"Without Love" by Stacie Orrico

The cool thing about this song is that it doesn't sound like a "Christian" or "worship" song. It sounds like a pop song - a cool pop song with awesome lyrics - but pop song nonetheless. I have played it for nonbelievers and they loved it - didn't even realize it is based on scripture. What a cool way to share truth.

I can only find a Youtube clip, where the video is pretty lame, but the song is still sweet.

Listen along with the lyrics based on 1 Corinthians 13:

Without Love by Stacie Orrico

If I speak in the tongues of angels, but have not love
I'm only a resounding noise
If I have the gift of knowledge
And if my faith moves mountains high
But have not love I am nothing

[Chorus]
Though I know the One
Who holds the stars in the heavens
In the palm of His hand
If I give all I possess
To the poor and the helpless
I'll still gain nothing
Without love

Love's patient
True love is always kind
Love does not envy
Never brags, it's never proud
Slow to wrath, it keeps no records of wrongs against friends
Love forgives
We all could use forgiveness

Though I know the One who holds
The stars in the heavens
In the palm of His hands
If I give all I possess
To the poor and the helpless
I'll still gain nothing
Without Love

Love never fails
Love is true
Love's the one thing that can always change you
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love's the one reason the world survives
Love never fails
Love is true
Love's the one thing that can always change you
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love's the one reason the world survives
