Lyrics

Brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, I call upon you:
present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God,
which is your reasonable worship.

Prophecies will come to an end, tongues will cease, knowledge will come to an end;
But Love never ends. And when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.
Do not be conformed to the present age, but transformed by the renewing of the mind,
so that you may discern the will of God: what is good, what is well-pleasing,
what is good and perfect. Amen.
