It doesn’t matter what I say
It doesn’t matter what I do
It doesn’t matter what I believe without Your love
It doesn’t matter what I have
It doesn’t matter what I know
It doesn’t matter what I achieve without Your love
And though I give my goods to feed the poor
Or even give my body to be burned
If I don’t have Your love
If I don’t know Your love
If I don’t show Your love then I have nothing
I have nothing
Your love is the greatest thing
It’s worth more than anything
Your love is the greatest thing in all the world
Your love is the greatest thing
It purifies everything
Your love is the greatest thing in all the world
Without Your love all that is good becomes defiled
Without Your love all that is good becomes defiled
When we use the truth to shame
When we use our gifts for our own gain
All that is good becomes defiled without Your love
Selfish motives taint good deeds
Lack of action taints our beliefs
All that is good becomes defiled without Your love

Love is Patient

|
Love is patient, love can wait
Disappointment has no place
There is peace here and there is faith
Love is patient, love can wait
Love’s abiding, stands in line
Counts you worthy of its time
When ignored or cast aside
Love’s abiding, stands in line
You have been here, You remain
In my good times and in my pain
When I doubt and turn away
You have been here, You remain

Love is Kind

|

|
Thank You for being kind
You bring color & comfort to my life
You see my needs & You meet them every time
I’m undeserving, so thankful Your love is kind
Your eyes, on me, banish all my shame
Your arms, outstretched, remind me sin is washed away
And Your smile, still kind, gives me hope again
What a gift my faithful Friend
You are kind unto the end
When I’m lonely, You are there
When I’m crying, You hear prayer
When I’m empty, You are full
Needing nothing, breathing hope
Let my love God, look like You
Treating others how You do
As I gaze upon Your grace
Through Your kindness
Show Your face

Love is Content
02:50
|
|||
|
From a place of perfect satisfaction
From a home of joy that overflows
You emerge with open invitations
For the weak for the ones in need of hope
In need of nothing, You open up Your arms
Instead of envy, You offer us Your heart
Oh You offer us Your heart
Love does not envy
Love is content
Love gives regardless of what it gets
Love does not envy
Love is content
Love gives regardless of what it gets

Love is Humble
03:19
|
|||
|
Give me Your humble love Oh Jesus
Teach my heart to kneel as You
Serve the ones who wait forgotten
The abandoned, soiled, and bruised
Even those who would reject me
Just as I've rejected You
Let me join You in Your suffering
Teach my heart to kneel as You
To kneel as You
To kneel as You
Love is humble seeks no fame
Hidden service is its aim
Love is humble
Love is humble takes last place
Shows its heart but hides its face
Love is humble

Love is Respectful
03:52
|
|||
|
Made to be
Kings and queens
The bearers of the glory
Made to be
Royalty
And that is how you treat me
With dignity
You grant responsibility
You guide but don’t control me
You could manipulate
But You communicate
Even though at times I hate Your wisdom
|

Love is Not Selfish
03:54
|
|||
|
Let me be
The kneeling in the garden kind of king
The kind who yields to You
Though suffering may be the road
That leads me to the joy You want to bring
Not my will oh not my way
Not what I want or need or think that I deserve
Oh God I want to seek Your kingdom first
Love does not seek its own
Yields its will before God’s throne
Love is not selfish oh love is not selfish
|

Love is Not Irritated
03:06
|
|||
|
If a cup is full, if a cup is full of
If a cup is full of only sweet water
Then no matter how suddenly or repeatedly it is jarred
Only sweet water only sweet water only sweet water will spill out
So I pour out my heart to You my God again
I confess my irritations, my pride, oh my sin
Make me patient, holy, humble, make me kind
Help me love my fellow man, find Your joy in giving up my time
When I’m interrupted, disappointed, treated trampled down
Let my heart be full of sweet water so sweet water will spill out
|

Love is Merciful
03:23
|
|||
|
How many times have You covered my shame
Things done in darkness hidden away
How many times have I lifted myself up above?
But oh the new mercies I find in Your love!
Love keeps no record, starts each day anew
Love keeps no record of the wrongs we do
You could keep a record of all of my sin
Remind me about them when I fail again
Hold wrongs against me until I can prove all my love..
But oh the new mercies You rain down on me from above!
Love keeps no record, starts each day anew
Love keeps no record of the wrongs we do

Holy joy! I want to live where Your joy just
Overflows! At Your right hand there are pleasures
Evermore. Nothing that ends in destruction
Empty out- I want to leave all that kills behind
What do I need? What do I seek?
What brings me joy? What is my heart longing for?
I want to hurt when You hurt,
Hate what You hate/ Love what You love
Let my heart hurt when You hurt
Hate what You hate/ Love what You love
Let my heart find joy in what brings You joy!
Give me a hunger for what is good
Let all that hurts You taste bitter

Love Never Fails
04:46
|
|||
|
Every burden I will carry
Every doubt I can relieve
Every fear I can overcome it
Through all time I’ll never leave
Love bears all things, believes all things,
Hopes all things, and stays
Through thick and thin, despite any sin
Can glimpse much better days
Love absolutely, positively never ever fails
Though many things will pass away
God’s love for you will never ever change
Every burden He will carry
Every doubt He can relieve
Every fear He can overcome it
Through all time He’ll never leave
Love bears all things, believes all things,
Hopes all things, and stays
Through thick and thin, despite any sin
Can glimpse much better days
Love absolutely, positively never ever fails
Though many things will pass away
God’s love for you will never ever change
You are loved, You are loved so freely, loved so freely
You are loved, You are loved so freely, loved so freely
You are loved,
Go on and love so freely,
Love so freely

amy rasmussen Andrews, North Carolina
I love music, kids, people, animals, creation, books, and the Maker of it all.
Jesus has changed
me quite a bit & is still working away. God has surprised me with a life I could've never imagined.
My hope is to point people to God's love & the beautiful purpose their life is meant to serve.
If any of my songs do that for you even in a small way, I'll be so thankful.
