Chords for The Gift of Love - Sung by Doreen Lai Arranged by Martin Lai

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] Though I may _ [D]
speak _ _ [G] with _ [D] bravest _ fire,
_ _ And have the _ [F#] _ gift _ [G] _
to awe [A] inspire, _ _ _ _
_ And have [D] not like _
_ _ [G] my words of _ [Bm] _
_ aid,
As _ sounding [D] _ brass _ _ [A] and [B] hopeless gay.
[Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] If I speak in the tongues of men and of [Em] angels,
But have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
[Em] And if I have prophetic powers, and [Bm] understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
[C] And if I have all faith, so as to remove [C] mountains,
But have not love, [B] I am nothing.
_ _ _ _ Though I [E] may give _ _ _ all I possess,
_ _ _ And striving [C#m] so, _ _ [A] _ my love [B] profess,
_ _ _ _ But not [D#] begin _ _ _ [A] _ my love [C#m] _ _ within,
[A] _ Love [E] profess to _ [B] _ them strangely [E] vain.
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ Love is patient and kind.
Love [Am] does not envy or boast.
It is not arrogant or rude.
It does not [E] insist on its own way.
It is not irritable or resentful.
It [F#] does not rejoice at all doing, but rejoices with the truth.
[Am] Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, [B] and deopes all things.
Times, seas, [E] and skies, _
[A] _ all hide [E] the _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] spirit's love _
[A] to be [B] made _ _ _ whole.
Let me [E] put my _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] belief, _ _
[A] _ my faith, my trust, [E] my love, _
[B] Should live and [C#m] agree. _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] So now faith, [A] hope, and love [E] abide, these three. _
[A] But the greatest of these [E] is love. _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
[A] _ By this [B] we _ [E]
worship _ [B] _ _ and [E] love. _
