Phatfish If I Have Not Love lyrics

I could build a mighty empire
Or be living on the streets
I could wear the finest jewellery
Or some coloured plastic beads
I could drive a rusty banger
Or a big ol? SUV
I could entertain the down and out or dine with royalty
But if I have not love then I am just a clanging cymbal
And if I have not love then I am just a lot of noise
I must lay my pride aside, preferring others needs
O Lord help me to love
I could speak with words of beauty
But still have a heart of stone
I could fill my mind with wisdom

Try to deepen what I know
I could look as though I?m listening
Or could cry at my TV
But it really stands for nothing if it?s only serving me
Jesus, You?re my great example
For You have shown your love to me
And in response I now must follow
In loving others faithfully
I can?t take all my possessions
To the place that I am heading
But love stays, love remains, love paves the way
