The performance weaves together themes of enduring love and faith—suggesting that while technologies and empires may pass away, love remains the foundation that persists through all change. ## Transcript WEBVTT 00:00:41.060 --> 00:01:23.820 Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails but where there are prophecies they will cease where there are tongues they will be stilled. Where there is knowledge it will pass away. And now these three remain faith, hope, and love but the greatest of these is love. 00:01:37.060 --> 00:02:16.640 The more I read the papers, The less I comprehend The world and all its capers And how it all will end Nothing seems to be lasting But that is not our affair We’ve got something permanent I mean in the way we can. 00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:44.440 It’s very clear Our love is here to stay not for a year.
