Come Around

(1 Corinthians 13:1-3)

I thought I'd win them all with words

I'd say a smooth little line to win the room every time

And they'd be moved by what they heard

My tongue as empty as my heart

It's not enough to play the part

O Jesus give me more than words

We pass out paper facts all week but they won't come around

We can debate theology but they won't come around

Apologetic reasoning, but they won't come around, come around

There's only one way they'll come and it's love

I am a one man marching band

And you'll be mighty surprised to realize

Just how I'm playing my songs

It's all live music ten till one

Come hear some cymbal crashing, son

And maybe hear me beat the gong

We pass out paper facts all week but they won't come around

We can debate theology but they won't come around

Apologetic reasoning, but they won't come around, come around

There's only one way they'll come and it's love

Men with other men loving the mammon more than God, man

They're in a sinking ship and who can save them? God can

Maybe for a minute I can get back to the heart of it

Sure I've got zeal, but does love have a part in it?

Passionate words and beautiful phrases

They just don't mean much if I don't have Jesus in it, in it

We pass out paper facts all week but they won't come around

We can debate theology but they won't come around

Apologetic reasoning, but they won't come around, come around

There's only one way they'll come and it's love

And it's love

And it's love

And it's love

And it's love
