The Real Thing

(Album: The Real Thing - 2009)

I was looking for a very best friend,
someone to stick with me until the very end
I was searching for a place to fit in,
with someone I could trust, someone to understand.
I was reaching for a hand to hold,
Somewhere I could go so I didn't feel alone.

That's when You opened up my eyes.
Right there I was changed,
Then I realised

[CHORUS #1]
You are the real thing
You are the only one
This is the real dream, knowing I am loved
You are the real thing and I'll never give You up
Never let You go
Oh no oh no Jesus
Oh no oh no

I can't rely on everything I hear,
everything I see as truth I can believe

So many people got their own kinda spin
They just flip the words to make it make sense.

I want something, something in my life
Something genuine, that only You can give
Like love, like peace and joy and hope
The more I seek the more I know

[CHORUS #2]
You are the real thing
You are the only one
This is the real dream, knowing I am loved
You are the real thing and I'll never give You up
Never let You go
Oh no oh no Jesus
Oh no oh no
You are the real thing
That's just who You are
And You have changed me
'Cause You live inside my heart
I know the real thing
And I'll never give You up
Never let You go
Oh no, oh no Jesus

So unshakable, solid as a rock
So reliable, everything this world is not
You are the real thing
So unshakable, solid as a rock
Everything I really want

[CHORUS #2]

You are the real thing
Never give You up
Never let You go

That's when You opened up my eyes
Right there I was changed
Then I realised

You are the real thing
