Billy Crockett

(Lyrics At The Bottom)

Album: Portraits

Released:1989

Label: Word Records

He wouldn't sit still long enough

To have His portrait done

His heart was set to move His life

At twice the speed of love

Artists who tried to freeze His style

On canvas or in stone

Found that real life

Isn't still life

Even when that life's alone

A traveling artist known as Paul

Painted truth with words

The truth that he saw was burning love

That comforts and disturbs

Each year he grew until he knew

The portrait couldn't wait

Without a sound

The man sat down

And he began to paint

Love is patient, love is kind

Never jealous, free of pride

Love will never be confine

And love will abide

Love is hopeful, love's not blind

Love is faithful, every time

Love is Someone, and

If you'll open your eyes, you'll find

That love is alive

Now love's gonna stand the test of time

Gonna stand when time is spent

Just look at the portrait painted

It's the Son the Father sent

He is patient, He is kind

Never jealous, free of pride

He will never be confine

And He will abide

Love is hopeful, love's not blind

Love is faithful, every time

Love is Someone, and

If you look in His eyes, you'll find

That love is alive

Love is Someone, and

If you look in His eyes, you'll find

Love is alive

I am glad you uploaded this song, I have been looking for it since I first heard it, I guess that was 1990 or 91. I first heard it on DZFE FM, a Christian radio station here in the Philippines. I would go to record stores in the mall and Christian muscic stores to look for it and since I don't know the title nor the writer of the song I would hum it then sing it when it reaches the "Love is patient..." part, to the sales clerk of the store. I was not successful in getting a copy. God bless

I have been looking for this song since college. My best friend and I played this and "A Lifetime's Not Too Long to Live as Friends". She and I have drifted apart. Thank you for reawakening our friendship! Blessings to you-
