If I sing but don't have love

Monologue: (Bible Verse: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3)
If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy,
But don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.
If I speak God’s word with power, revealing all of His mysteries
And making everything as plain as day,
And if I have faith to say to a mountain jump and it jumps,
But I don’t love, I’m nothing.
If I give all I earn to the poor
Or even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr,
But I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere.
So, no matter what I say, no matter what I believe,
no matter what I do,
I’m bankrupt without love.
Chorus:
Dm Am C G
So let my life be the proof, The proof of Your love
Dm Am C G
Let my love look like You and what You're made of
Dm Am C G
How You lived, how You died, Love is sacrifice
Dm Am C G
So let my life be the proof, The proof of Your love
