It's Real Love

I’ve known love – through relationships
One with my mom – one with my dad
One with my uncle – one with my aunt
I’ve known love – romantic and platonic
Both of them real love, though different
Special in their very own way, their very own
Right, distinctive and unique, like the blessings
That follow me when I seek…

The love that means more to me, the love
That pours out hope through me –
The love that is like a light and a peace
The love that is silent, still and filled with belief

This love comes from the One who made the stars
He is the love that awakens the dreams inside
He is the wonder beyond wonders, the light who makes me whole
He is the love that I yearn to always know –
He is the love that brightens every soul

Because of His love… love that was proven so long ago
Upon a old, rugged cross – at calvary, where God 
Taught us all about love that is beyond words, beyond
Comprehension, beyond mere kindness or compassion

There on that cross, He showed love that is alive,
Love that never dies – love that will always abide inside
The one who listens to the mystery of His birth, His life
His death on that cross where we would experience
The amazing grace that became the way to learn just what it is…
To give all, to give without conditions – to give in such a way
That no one can explain the miracle that surpasses every gift,
The miracle of love that lifts us from the darkness of our sin
Into the beauty of everlasting peace – the wonderful
Found in the presence of One who was resurrected to become
The way to know God as Father and Jesus as Son,
The way to see real love that can never be undone!
