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
