Without Love

If I speak in the tongues of mortals
And of angels
But have no love in my heart
I am a noisy gong
Or a clanging symbol
A clanging symbol

If I show prophetic power
Understand all mysteries
And all knowledge
And have the faith to move mountains
But do not have love
I gain nothing

Without love
I gain nothing
I gain nothing

If I give away my possessions
And hand over my body to boast
But do not have love
I gain nothing
I gain nothing
