Perfect Wedding

Love is patient and kind--
I love...
Love is not jealous or boastful--
I love you...
Love is not proud or rude--
I love you, I love...
Love does not demand its own way--
I love you, I love you...

God's love is patient and kind--
God loves...
God's love is not jealous or boastful--
God loves you...
God's love is not proud or rude--
God loves you, God loves...
God's love does not demand its own way--
God loves you, God loves you...

Love never gives up--
I love...
Love never loses faith--
I love you...
Love is always hopeful--
I love you, I love...
Love endures through every circumstance--
I love you, I love you...

God's love never gives up--
God loves...
God's love never loses faith--
God loves you...
God's love is always hopeful--
God loves you, God loves...
God's love endures through every circumstance--
God loves you, God loves you...

In the end what will last forever?
faith will last,
hope will last,
and our love--God's perfect love in us--
will last forever...
forever...
forever....

1 Corinthians 13 (NLT)
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

8 Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages[b] and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 9 Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10 But when full understanding comes, these partial things will become useless.

13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
