"Real Love" lyrics

This isn't easy
For me to admit
I got a fire inside and some words I know I can't keep in
I see faith turning
Into a show
Of Sundays and sermons
And words getting caught in the flow

Oh, but we got real pain and real fears
Thirsting for the drying of our real tears
It's not satisfying anymore
Ain't it true that the veil was torn

I don't need no stained glass
To be washed in his blood
I don't need no perfect, put together pretty words
To be enough, no
I want Jesus and his real love
Something that I crave deep inside of my bones
So you can leave your religion at home

Spent my life trying
To keep all the rules
Now I know it's about what he's already done
Not about what I think that I gotta do

I don't need no stained glass
To be washed in his blood
I don't need no perfect, put together pretty words
To be enough, no
I want Jesus and his real love
Something that I crave deep inside of my bones
So you can leave your religion at home

I want real, real love, hey

I got real pain and real fears
Thirsting for the drying of real tears
It's not satisfying anymore
Ain't it true that the veil was torn

I don't need no stained glass
To be washed in his blood
I don't need no perfect, put together pretty words
To be enough, no
I want Jesus and his real love
Something that I crave deep inside of my bones
So you can leave your religion at home

I want real, real love
I want real, real love
I want real, real love
Oh, ye—yeah, yeah
