[Verse 1]
She said
I want a love that's just so perfect
When I wake up I don’t deserve it
I want a love that gives me freedom
Give it all up just to finally meet him
I want a love that's not so lame
Gets my vibe in the middle of pain
I want a love that's not self-serving
I want a love that’s a real person

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Why would life do this to me
Make my mind feel incomplete?
How will I ever compete
To fill the size that's so empty?
Deep inside I know I'd be
Living life eternally
If only somehow I could see
The person that's in front of me, like

[Chorus]
I want a love that's just like Jesus
Sent in from above by the Man who sees us
I want a love that died for me though
The kind of love that conquers evil
I want a love that's just like Jesus
Sent in from above by the Man who sees us
I want a love that died for me though
The kind of love that conquers evil
[Post-Chorus]
I want a love that's just like Jesus
I want a love that's just like Jesus

[Verse 2]
He said
I want a love that gives me purpose
Hard to have love when you still feel worthless
But the worst is deep within
I know that I got a soul deep in sin
So even if I found the one
Would it even matter ’cause of what I’ve done?
Still wouldn't reach perfection
So why am I looking for the blessing?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But deep inside
I know I’ve got
God on my side
Give him the nod
I want to write
But don't know where to begin
I guess deep within I know I

[Chorus]
I want a love that's just like Jesus
Sent in from above by the Man who sees us
I want a love that died for me though
The kind of love that conquers evil
I want a love that's just like Jesus
Sent in from above by the Man who sees us
I want a love that died for me though
The kind of love that conquers evil
[Post-Chorus]
I want a love that’s just like Jesus
I want a love that's just like Jesus

[Outro]
I want a love that's just like Jesus
I want a love that's just like Jesus
I want a love that's just like Jesus

[Spoken: Dr. Scott Fenton]
I remember that night in 1974
In December in the Arbuckle mountains
At that beer bus celebrating winning the state championship
That was the first time I got it: Jesus loves me!
And when I got that, that He loved me like that, it changed my life
I mean, it changed the direction of my life
The purpose of my life, the, the- the fabric of my life
Everything changed when I realized how Jesus loved me
