THE COMING OF THE CORINTHIANS based on 1 Corinthians 13, adapted by Joel Sattler


When I was but a child I spoke as if a child doth sing
But when I became a man I put away all of those childish things

I speak with the tongues of men
I speak with the tongues of angels
But if I have not charity
I am become a danger
Brass or a tinkling cymbal

If I?ve the gift of prophets
Comprehending all mystery
Fountain of truth and knowledge
But If I know not history
I am become the dead

If I have strength and power
Faith enough to move mountains
Sell all have to feed the poor
But if of love I have not learned
Though I give my body to be burned

I am nothing
I am nothing

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

I am nothing
I am nothing


For what we know in part
and what prophesy in part
But when the perfect comes
The partial will pass away
And pass out of all our hearts

When I was but a child I spoke as if a child doth sing
But when I became a man I put off all of those childish things

When I was but a child I spoke as if a child doth sing
But when I became a man I put away all of those childish things
