The Most Excellent Way

Fred had faith That could move a big mountain Fred had a tongue That flowed like a fountain Had a big brain bible trained Gave what he had To the poor and to the flame Fred had faith and faith is fine Fred had a wonderful wonderful mind What would he need love indeed Love is the greatest of all of these Fred had hope carved in stone Beyond what's seen beyond what's known Nothing could shake him or take him Away from the light that the Lord had gave him Fred had hope and hope is fine Fred had a wonderful wonderful mind What would he need love indeed The most excellent way is love CHORUS Faith hope and love But the greatest of these is love Love is more than the act of giving Live is the key to the art of living What's the gain from the pain Without the love of Christ it's all vain Love is patient love is kind In this song I hope you find A message of love but what you gonna do Love is calling get into action Love is the start of a chain reaction Love is more much more Listen ya'll what love is for Faith hope and love forever Learning to love is the greatest endeavor So what do we need love indeed The most excellent way is love You got to show one another That you care about each other And you love your neighbor Like you love yourself "You gotta love God with all your heart Because that's really the biggest part And you love the people The people around you The most excellent way is love"
