Lyrics
I WANT TO BE REAL
Kim Levings & Rev. Martin Shrout
May 2008
VERSE #1
You loved me first
With your heart, soul, mind,
And your strength.
You quenched my thirst
Help me remember to go the same length...
Get outside of myself
Loving in your strength
Loving the way you first loved me
CHORUS
I want to be...real
Meeting real needs
With a real Christ
I want to be...real
Meeting real needs
With a real Christ
God please help me
O God, please help me
To be...real
VERSE #2
Help me remember
Being alone and lost
Help me remember
There was no - where to turn
Lord - help me remember
And lean on you to learn
Here is my heart, soul, mind,
And my strength.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I want to live my life
With my feet on the rock
Worshiping everyday
With hand outstretched...
You paid such a cost
When you rescued me
I want to love the lost,
Just the way you first loved me
