I could travel over oceans, cross the deserts,
climb the mountains
Just to share your story, bring you glory, and
win souls for you.
I could sing like an angel, songs so humble and
so thankful
Full of drama and emotion, so the world would
know your truth.
I could give away my money and my clothes and my
food
To restore those people who are poor, lost, and
down-and-out.
Oh, I could succeed at all these things,
Find favor with peasants and kings,
But if I do not love, I am nothing.

I could live a flawless life,
Never cheat or steal or lie,
And always speak so kindly, smile warmly, and go
about doing good.
I could dedicate myself to do what everyone else
wants me to-
Listen to them, compliment them, say the things I
should.
I could show up every sunday, lead the choir and
Bible study
And they all might come to know me as a leader
and a friend.
Oh, I could achieve success on earth, but success
cannot define my worth
And all these actions, all these words, will not
matter in the end-

Chorus:
Songs will fade to silence,
Stories, they will cease.
The dust will settle, covering all my selfless
deeds.
So as I strive to serve you,
Won’t you make it clear to me,
If I do not love, I am nothing.

Bridge:
If I cannot live my life loving my brother,
Then how can I love the one who lived his life
for me? 

Sent to earth from heaven,
Humble servant, holy king,
Come to share a story, get no glory, and save my
searching soul,
You knew that I’d deny you, crucify you, but
nothing could stop you from
Living for me, dying for me, so that I would
know-

Chorus:
Songs will fade to silence,
Stories will cease,
The dust will settle covering these selfless
deeds.
But your life here has made it clear enough for
me to see
That if I do not love, I am nothing
