The love of God is real and I've experienced it,
His touch is as real as the warm morning sun.
His peace is as real as the evening's quiet waters,
His joy is as real as the wind's happy song.
It's real, it's real, I know that He loves me.
It's real, so real, t'will span eternity.
No more days of doubting,
My heart will go on shouting
It's real, God's love is real to me!
It's real, it's real, I know that He loves me.
It's real, so real, t'will span eternity.
No more days of doubting,
My heart will go on shouting
It's real, God's love is real to me!
