Real Love
Luke Wood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could never undo what You've done
So come and love me like You do
Teach me to let You wash my feet
Although I should be the one who pours love on You

Nothing could seperate this love
Even my weak attempts to show You how I feel
I am week but this is real
It's real love
It's real love

You place a crown of pure gold upon my head
And then You command Your loving kindness to chase me down
I am holding on to love that I can't see but I believe
It's real love
It's real love

I could never undo what You've done
So come and love me like You do
Teach me to let You wash my feet
Although I should be the one who pours love on You

Nothing could seperate this love
Even my weak attempts to show You how I feel
I am week but this is real
It's real love
It's real love

You place a crown of pure gold upon my head
And then You command Your loving kindness to chase me down
I am holding on to love that I can't see but I believe




It's real love
It's real love
