I AM NOTHING from 1 Corinthians 13, adapted by Joel Sattler
I AM NOTHING
Song lyrics based on Chapter 13 of the First Letter to the Corinthians by Saint Paul,
As found in the New Testament of the Holy Bible, adapted by Joel Sattler
I speak with the tongues of men
I speak with the tongues of angels
But if I haveth not charity
I am become a danger to me
If I’ve the gift of the prophets
Comprehending all mystery
But if I know not of history
I am become as if of the dead
If I have faith
enough to move mountains
Sell all I have
to feed the poor
But if of love
I have not learned
Though I may give
my soul to be burned
Then I am nothing
No no no no
Then I am nothing
No no no no
Then I am nothing
No no no no
Then I am nothing
No no no no
Doth not behave unseemly
Seeketh not her own
Not easily provoked
Rejoicing not wrongdoing
Thinketh not of evil
Beareth of all things
Believeth of all things
Hopeth of all things
Endureth of all things
But if of love I have not learned
Though I give my body to be burned
To be burned
Then I am nothing
No no no no
Then I am nothing
No no no no
Then I am nothing
No no no no
Then I am nothing
No no no no
For what we know in part
and what prophesy in part
But when the perfect comes
The partial will pass out of our hearts
When I was a child
I spoke as if a child doth sing
But when I became a man
I put away childish things
When I was a child
I spoke as if a child doth sing
But when I became a man
I put away childish things
