The words aren't in the cd jacket, but this is all I was able to make out...
Pure Love
(written by Kevin Broughton)
(recorded by Dottie Peoples
Verse 1:
If I speak in tongues of angels,
understanding mysteries
and in edification, open minds to see.
With a heart full of compassion,
to meet my brother's needs;
if I don't have pure love,
then it doesn't mean a thing.
Verse 2:
If I give all my possessions
just to be seen ?????,
spend all my time in service,
not really having God within.
With a heart full of desire,
to touch a world of sin;
if I don't have pure love,
then it doesn't mean a thing.
Chorus
If I don't love my brother like I should,
I'm just a clammoring symbol,
being proud and puffed up in my ways,
I won't see Jesus face to face.
If I lay up all my trophies
for all the world to see;
if I don't have pure love,
then it doesn't mean a thing.
Verse 3:
Now to sermons have been given
to stir the hearts of men,
but still the church still struggles
because they don't understand...
that pure love is the answer
to life's everything;
if I don't have pure love,
then it doesn't mean a thing.
Chorus
