The Real Thing Lyrics by Michael Ketterer, United Pursuit

The Wild Inside

2014

[Verse 1]
We belong to a generation
We've had a taste
Of what we can become
So we lift our eyes to heaven
Full of power and grace
We now live to overcome

[Pre-Chorus]
And we try to find our reasons
But we can’t explain
This feeling that we're falling in love
In everything You lead us
By Your grace
You're the only thing that we want

[Chorus]
We want the real thing, God
And we will fight for it
We need Your Spirit here
Send Your Spirit
We want the real thing, God
And we will fight for it
We need Your Spirit here
Send Your Spirit

[Verse 2]
We want the touch of Your hand
It heals our souls
And feeds our hunger
We want to see Your Majesty
Fill the earth
With love and wonders

[Pre-Chorus]
And we try to find our reasons
But we can’t explain
This feeling that we're falling in love
In everything You lead us
By Your grace
You're the only thing that we want

[Chorus]
We want the real thing, God
And we will fight for it
We need Your Spirit here
Send Your Spirit
We want the real thing, God
And we will fight for it
We need Your Spirit here
Send Your Spirit
We want the real thing, God
And we will fight for it
We need Your Spirit here

[Pre-Chorus]
And we try to find our reasons
But we can't explain
This feeling that we're falling in love
And in everything You lead us
By Your grace
You're the only thing that we want

[Refrain]
You're the only thing that we want
You're the only thing that we want
You’re the only thing that we want

[Chorus]
We want the real thing, God
And we will fight for it
We need Your Spirit here
Send Your Spirit
We want the real thing, God
And we will fight for it
We need Your Spirit here
Send Your Spirit
We want the real thing, God
And we will fight for it
We need Your Spirit here
Send Your Spirit
We want the real thing, God
And we will fight for it
We need Your Spirit here
Send Your Spirit

[Spoken]
There’s a pure sound on the horizon
(We want the real thing, God)
As sons and daughters [?] voice of heaven
(And we will fight for it)
God's calling out [?] mantle of religiosity
(We need Your Spirit here)
We’re shaking off the need for security
Because it's false, it doesn't exist anywhere
And because we're covered by God’s Spirit
There's no need to be afraid
The Son, He never came to tame us
But instead, to set us free
We will not be stopped by the darkness
But we will boldly pursue our Father wherever He leads
