Real Thing

(album: Maverick City, Vol. 1 - 2019)

Baby steps, My child
To you it may be nothing, but you make Daddy proud
Your weakness is only My strength
I hear your questions, and I'm closer than you think
I promise
I promise

And oh, I won't let go
I won't let go
I see you right where you are
And I'm holding on to your heart
Oh, I won't let go
I won't let go
I see you right where you are
And I'm holding on to your heart

You've been here all this time
Tell me where were I looking 'cause You weren't hard to find
Mercy opened up my eyes
Now I'm losing my religion to be loved like a child
I promise
I promise

And oh, I won't let go
I won't let go
I see You right where You are
And I'm holding on to Your heart
And oh, I won't let go
I won't let go
I see You right where You are
And I'm holding on to Your heart

I'm done pretending, I want the real thing (Mm, yeah)
I'm done pretending, I want the real thing (We sing with confidence)
I'm done pretending, I want the real thing (Right here, right now, God)
I'm done pretending, I want the real thing (Whatever it looks like, whatever it sounds like)
I'm done pretending, I want the real thing (We are desperate, we are desperate)
I'm done pretending, I want the real thing (Out of desperation, yeah)
I'm done pretending, I want the real thing (We are hungry for the real thing)
I'm done pretending, I want the real thing

I won't let go
And oh, I won't let go
I won't let go
I see You right where You are (Yes, I do)
And I'm holding on to Your heart
And oh, I won't let go
I won't let go
I see You right where You are
And I'm holding on to Your heart

You're the only thing that matters
You're the only thing that matters, God
You're the only thing that matters (We sing it out)
You're the only thing that matters (Your presence, God)
You're the only thing that matters (Your glory, God)
You're the only thing that matters (Your presence, God)
You're the only thing that matters (We looked to other things but)
You're the only thing that matters (We looked to other things but)
You're the only thing that matters (We searched and found no one)
You're the only thing that matters (You are the only thing that matters)
You're the only thing that matters (Oh, we are desperate, God)
You're the only thing that matters (We long for Your glory)
You're the only thing that matters (We long for Your glory, God)
You're the only thing that matters
You're the only thing that matters
You're the only thing that matters

Lift up your worship, lift up your worship
Oh, we love You
Oh, You're the only thing
You're the only thing
You and me
Me and You
Oh, Jesus
One day in Your presence
Yeah, yeah, yeah
One day, God
Is better than a thousands elsewhere
Is better than a thousands elsewhere
And I see You right where You are
And I'm holding onto Your heart

You satisfy me
You satisfy me
You satisfy me, oh yeah
You satisfy me
(Come on, sing it) You satisfy me
(You satisfy) You satisfy me
(You satisfy) You satisfy me
(You satisfy) You satisfy me

You're enough for me
One day is better than a thousand elsewhere
I'll trade a thousand days for one in Your glory
One day in Your presence
Me and You, You and me, eternity
I'll trade a thousand days elsewhere
For one day, one touch
One day, one touch
One word, one touch
One day, one touch
I'll trade a thousand
I'll trade a thousand
I'll trade a thousand
You are good, God
Oh, I've tasted, I've tasted
I've tasted, I've tasted
And I'd trade a thousand elsewhere
I'll trade a thousand elsewhere for one day
I'll trade a thousand elsewhere for one day
I'll trade a thousand elsewhere
I'll trade a thousand elsewhere
For one day, one touch, one word
For one day, one touch, one word
It can change everything
It can change everything
It can change everything
One day, one touch, one word
Can change everything
So we come
We come hungry
We come hungry
We come hungry
We come longing
Let the hunger fill the room
Let hunger fill the room
Let hunger fill the room
He-e-e-e-e-ey
Let hunger fill the room
He-e-e-ey
I'd trade a thousand elsewhere
For one day, one touch, one word

Sing oh, I won't let go
And oh, I won't let go
I won't let go
I see You right where You are
And I'm holding on to Your heart
