Without Love

If to love another is to see the face of God
I am blind if I refuse to love
My song is noise, my name disgrace
Every virtue meaningless
What have I if I have not love?

Chorus:

Almighty, All holy Father, hear my prayer
Forgive my unholy downfall of love

Oh my love forsaken drove the nails in your hands
And my pride the thorns in your brow
In all my shame my guilt denied
My bitterness unjustified
Before your cross powerless I bow

Chorus:

Bridge:

Without love for another
Without love for my Lord
Without love above myself, above my self
I have nothing
I have nothing
I have nothing without love

Chorus:(3x)

Without You my love cannot be true.
