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

Faith, hope and love
But the greatest of these is love, 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 up y'all 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

Faith, hope and love
But the greatest of these is love

You got to show one another
That you care about each other
And you love your neighbor
Like you love yourself

Faith, hope and love
The most excellent way

You got to show one another
That you care about each other
You got to love, love your neighbor
Like, 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

Faith, hope and love
But the greatest of these is love

You got to show one another
That you care about each other
And you love your neighbor
Like you love yourself

Faith, hope and love
But the greatest of these is love

You got to show one another
That you care about each other
And you love your neighbor
Like you love yourself

Faith, hope and love
But the greatest of these is love
Love, love, love

The most excellent way
The most excellent way is love
The most excellent way
The most excellent way is love
Love, love, love

The most excellent way is love
