Love Is Patient

Love is patient, love is kind
It does not boast, it does not rely upon itself
Make me patient, make me kind
Take my love, may it not run dry

Well, I spend my days like I'm running out of time
Even 'fore the Gospel calls it's as if I fell behind
Though the world keeps turnin', same rate since the start
I keep runnin' mad and wild as if Jesus had no part

Love is patient, love is kind
It does not boast, it does not rely upon itself
Make me patient, make me kind
Take my love, may it not run dry

Well, we all would wish to slow this train on down
But the other half of my restless heart still carries me 'round town
If the Lord is in each moment passin' by
Draw me to your open arms, look my neighbor in the eye

Love is patient, love is kind
It does not boast, it does not rely upon itself
Make me patient, make me kind
Take my love, may it not run dry
