The Way of Love
By Tenielle Neda
“The Way of Love” was inspired by the words of 1 Corinthians 13. Before I came to know Jesus, my understanding and experience of love was so distorted. I had to truly learn what love is and what it looks like. I learnt who love is, and what He looks like and how He defines love. And that changed my heart and life.
This song is my prayer to live out and live in that love. I don't do it perfectly. But He does. And how gracious is God to give us these transcendent virtues: faith, hope and love. "If I have not love I am nothing, if I have not love I gain nothing, for the way of love never ends..." God is love, and His love is eternal.
The love of God is a common thread on the album, and that's why the album is called "The Way of Love." I felt a deep sense of God's love these last few years, through some of the loneliness and hardest days of my life. I pray these songs might speak to your heart of His great love in whatever season you are in.
The Way of Love
By Tenielle Neda
Help this heart of mine,
be patient and be kind.
Not self seeking, record keep(ing),
In evil don't delight.
Help this heart of mine,
not envy nor despise.
Rejoice in truth,
shun anger choose
The gentle words of life.
Love bears all things, believes in all things,
hopes in all things, endures all things.
Love bears all things, believes in all things,
hopes in all things, endures all things.
Now we know in part,
then shall fully know.
Even as I’m fully known,
find faith and love and hope.
Love bears all things, believes in all things,
hopes in all things, endures all things.
Love bears all things, believes in all things,
hopes in all things, endures all things.
If I have not love I am nothing,
If have not love I gain nothing,
For the way love never ends.
If I have not love I am nothing,
If have not love I gain nothing,
For the way love never ends.
