Brandon Heath - Love Never Fails

Love is not proud
Love does not boast
Love after all
Matters the most

Love does not run
Love does not hide
Love does not keep
Locked inside

Love is the river that flows through
Love never fails you

Love will sustain
Love will provide
Love will not cease
At the end of time

Love will protect
Love always hopes
Love still believes
When you don’t

Love is the arms that are holding you
Love never fails you

When my heart won’t make a sound
When I can’t turn back around
When the sky is falling down
Nothing is greater than this
Greater than this

Love is right here
Love is alive
Love is the way
The truth the life

Love is the river than flows through
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love is the place you will fly to
Love never fails you


Behind the Song:
“Love Never Fails” is all about 1 Corinthians 13. I know that audiences have heard this verse many, many times. But the truth is, “love never fails” is probably the most powerful line in the Bible. That’s what we are supposed to do as far as following Jesus and loving the Lord with all of our heart, mind and strength, but also loving our neighbor. We have to know that real love won’t fail us. If anything, 1 Corinthians 13 tells us how to love well.” - Brandon Heath


This passage from 1 Cotinthians 13 is very familiar to us and is very popular scripture reading during wedding services too. I even have it printed all over my wedding photo album! We just want to always remind ourselves how great LOVE is.

Sometimes, love is something which is so difficult to do in this selfish world. But I think people have to experience it first then only they will understand. That means someone has got to give it first. And we love because He FIRST loved us!

This song by Brandon Heath sounds light and relaxing. Great as lullaby too!
