The Greatest Is Love
- Bill Yates ℗ ©1971 At The Gate Publishing SOCAN

Some people have children who know that they care
And some people have houses full of riches and fine ware
But the greatest is love, (Every time, everywhere)
The greatest is love (There is nothing 'can compare)

I once had the hope of being someone real fine
I thought I might boast of the score on my mind
But the greatest is love, (Love is patient, love is kind)
The greatest is love (It brings forgiveness and peace of mind)

Jesus, my prayers are for those who don't care
'Bout themselves or for others and the sins you did bear

The greatest of riches is eternal and true
So, lay up your treasures way on past the blue
'Cause the greatest is love (It's the blessing from above);
You know Jesus is love (He is holy, he is love)
And the greatest is love!
