Vertical Worship's song "Real Thing," featuring Sean Curran, is a contemporary worship anthem celebrating the authentic, unconditional nature of God's love. The lyrics contrast human love, which is often conditional and fearful, with God's perfect love that pursues and holds the believer. The song emphasizes that God's grace is freely given, His mercy overlooks our flaws, and through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, believers have a place in heaven. It expresses awe and gratitude for a love that cannot be outrun or explained, a love that is truly the "real thing."
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I've only seen a love full of conditions
Hiding with the fear that it can break
And I've searched the world to get a taste of heaven
But all along it was heaven chasing me
Your love is the real thing it's a real thing
It's the air I breathe
Your love it's got a hold on me and it's holding me
It is everything it's the real thing
Your grace is more than just an obligation
You give without a promise of return
Your mercy looks beyond my reputation
For I belong in heaven's destiny
For I belong in heaven's destiny
Your love is the real thing it's a real thing
It's the air I breathe
Your love it's got a hold on me and it's holding me
It is everything it's the real thing
I can't outrun it, I can't explain it, I don't deserve it
Jesus, Your love for me
It's not complacent, it's always chasing, it won't abandon
Jesus, Your love for me
Not disappointing, won't leave me wanting, its overwhelming
Jesus, Your love for me
I know I need it, I know its worth it, the cross, it proves it
Jesus, Your love for me
Your love is the real thing it's a real thing
It's the air I breathe
Your love it's got a hold on me and it's holding me
It is everything it's the real thing
Your love is the real thing it's a real thing
It's the air I breathe
Your love it's got a hold on me and it's holding me
It is everything it's the real thing
There's a place for me and it's heavenly at the table with
The King
It's the real thing
