Love is what we've come here for
This is why we're staying
Love is what we've come here for
The kind that won't be fading
The kind that stands and knocks at my heart
The kind that's loved me from the start
Love is why we've come
Love has a name, Jesus
Love has a name, Jesus
Love has a name
Truth is what we've come here for
This is why we're staying
Truth is what we've come here for
The kind that won't be fading
The kind of truth that can set a man free
The kind I want my heart to see
Truth is why we've come
Truth has a name, Jesus
Truth has a name, Jesus
Truth has a name
Hope is what we've come here for
This is why we're staying
Hope is what we've come here for
The kind that won't be fading
The kind that gives me a reason to live
The kind that only God can give
Hope is why we've come
Hope has a name, Jesus
Hope has a name, Jesus
Truth has a name, Jesus
Truth has a name, Jesus
Love has a name, Jesus
Love has a name, Jesus
