Real Love
Real love is so miraculous;
Love such as Jesus gave
When He laid down His sinless life
My sinful soul to save.
Real love that reaches outward
To souls that are in need
Without a thought of self
Without a hint of greed.
Real love that hears another's heart
And sees the pain inside,
Love that reaches to the soul
With no selfishness or pride.
Real love that says
"You are safe with me.
There's no need to run or hide.
Just rest here in my arms
Where truth and loyalty abide."
Real love can only flow
From the soul that has been set free
By the precious blood of Jesus
Flowing down from Calvary.
