1 Corinthians 2:16

• [1Co 2:16] Take Thou Our Minds, Dear Lord

  Take Thou our minds, dear Lord, we humbly pray, Give us the mind of Christ each passing day; Teach us to know the truth that sets us free; Grant us in all our thoughts to honor Thee. Take Thou our hearts, O Christ—they are Thine own; Come Thou within our souls and claim Thy throne; Help us to shed abroad Thy deathless love; Use us to make the earth like heaven above. Take Thou our wills, Most High! Hold Thou full sway; Have in our inmost souls Thy perfect way; Guard Thou each sacred hour from selfish ease; Guide Thou our ordered lives as Thou dost please. Take Thou ourselves, O Lord, heart, mind, and will; Through our surrendered souls Thy plans fulfill. We yield ourselves to Thee—time, talents, all; We hear, and henceforth heed, Thy sovereign call.

1 Corinthians 13:1

• [1Co 13:1] Gift Of Love, The

  Though I may speak with bravest fire, And have the gift to all inspire, And have not love, my words are vain, As sounding brass, and hopeless gain. Though I may give all I possess, And striving so my love profess, But not be given by love within, The profit soon turns strangely thin. Come, Spirit, come, our hearts control, Our spirits long to be made whole. Let inward love guide every deed; By this we worship, and are freed.

• [1Co 13:1] Though I Speak

  Though I speak in every language, Prophesy for God above, Though I understand all mysteries, I am nothing without love. Though through faith I can move mountains, Give the poor all that I gain, Though I’m burned alive for Jesus, Without love, my life is vain. Love is patient, kind, and selfless, Envies not, nor boasts in pride, Is not rude or quickly angered, Never holds a grudge inside. Love does not delight in evil, But with truth rejoices e’er; Trusts, protects, and hopes forever, Perseveres and always cares. One day prophecies will finish; Tongues will in that day be stilled; Knowledge, too, will pass forever, When God’s Word is all fulfilled. Now we only know a fraction, And as children think and speak; When perfection comes upon us, Childish ways no more we’ll seek. Now we see as in a mirror, In a blurred and hazy way. But reflections soon will vanish; Face to face we’ll see some day. In that day we’ll all know fully, As we’re known by God above; Till then, faith, hope, love still linger, But the greatest far is love.
