Real Love
I’ve searched for love most my life.
Thought I would find it in being a wife.
Thought I would find it in being a mother.
Though both are feelings like no other.
The love that I was searching for.
Was locked behind a metal door.
It was inside me all the while.
But had turned hard and hostile.
From years of disappointments and lies.
My love I learned to cover in disguise.
Never let them see you cry.
That was the principle that I lived by.
Although I cared, I pretended not.
‘Til one day I realized it was all a plot.
Designed and orchestrated by Satan, my foe.
To confuse me of everything I know.
That love was meant to be given away.
Only the truest will return one day.
As God demonstrated love by giving His son.
He established the convenant of how it begun.
Now my search is over and the victory’s been won.
I’ve found real love in The Anointed One.
