The Real Thing

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
