Let Love Be Real

Verse 1

Let love be real in giving and receiving
With-out the need to manage and to own
A haven free from posting and pretending
Where every weakness may be safely known
Give me Your hand along the desert pathway
Give me Your love wherever we may go
As God loves us so let us love each other
With no demands just open hands and space to grow

Verse 2

Let love be real not grasping or confining
That strange embrace that holds yet sets us free
That helps us face the risk of truly living
And makes us brave to be what we might be
Give me Your strength
When all my words are weakness
Give me Your love in spite of all You know

Verse 3

Let love be real with no manipulation
No secret wish to harness or control
Let us accept each other's incompleteness
And share the joy of learning to be whole
Give me Your hope
Through dreams and disappointments
Give me Your trust when all my failings show
