Lyrics

[Intro]
You're listening to Jam & Lewis, Vol. 1
Hey, ooh, uh-huh, uh-huh
The Blackness
Oh, oh
[Verse 1]
When I was scraping the bottom, down on my luck
You came along and picked me up and
Brought new purpose in my life, yes, You did
When I was out in the cold (Somebody help her)
You took me in and gave me shelter
In Your kingdom of tranquility and peace
[PreChorus]
Where Your arms can be (Yes) my security (Yeah)
And Your word can teach me
How I should live
Now my heart's so much more compassionate (Hey)
'Cause You're showing me
How true love should feel
[Chorus]
Never felt real love
'Til I found You
Deep and unselfish (Yeah)
It's always true (Yeah)
From a higher place (From a higher place)
Love that renews (Yeah)
Never felt real love (Real, real love)
'Til I found You
[PostChorus]
Somebody say
Heaven must be like this
It must be like this (It must be like this)
Must be, gotta be, sure enough it is (Hey)
Heaven must be like this (Heaven must be like this)
It must be like this
It must be like this (Hey)
[Verse 2]
My life was outta control, at wits end
I was lookin' for peace in things it wasn't in
I was lonely and needed a friend (Ooh)
Keep lookin' up, you'll never search again
Let's respect the blessin' we call life
Remembering Your sacrifice
Changed my heart so I'm gon' try
To earn a place with You on high
[PreChorus]
Where Your arms can be my security (My security)
And Your word can teach me
How I should live (Teach me, teach me)
Now my heart's so much more compassionate (More compassionate)
'Cause You're showing me
How true love should feel
[Chorus]
Never felt real love (Hey)
'Til I found You
Deep and unselfish (Oh)
It's always true (No)
From a higher place (From a higher place)
Love that renews (Love renews)
Never felt real love (Never felt real love)
'Til I found You (Never)
Never felt real love (Real love)
'Til I found You ('Til I found You)
Deep and unselfish (Deep and unselfish)
It's always true (Oh)
From a higher place (From a higher place)
Love that renews (Love renews)
Never felt real love (Never, never felt real love)
'Til I found You
[Bridge]
No more days and nights cryin' in despair
I'm free from the pain that I used to bare
You came to my rescue, Lord (Oh, yes, You did)
You showed me that You care, yeah (You're showin' me that You care)
Through grace and Your love, I'm reborn
'Cause You give me the strength to weather any storm
And I wanna thank You for (Thank You)
Openin' Heaven's doors (Thank You)
Each day I love You more and more (I love You)
And more and more and more
[Chorus]
Never felt real love
'Til I found You
Deep and unselfish (Deep and unselfish)
It's always true
From a higher place (Higher place)
Love that renews (I've been rewewed)
Never felt real love (Real, real love)
'Til I found You (Never felt real love)
Never felt real love ('Til I found You)
'Til I found You (Hey)
Deep and unselfish
It's always true (Yeah)
From a higher place
Love that renews (Yeah)
Never felt real love (Never felt real love)
'Til I found You
[PostChorus]
I'm tellin' you Heaven
Heaven must be like this
It must be like this
It's gotta be, gotta be
No greater love have I ever found (Hey)
Heaven must be like this (Heaven)
It must be like this (Must be like this)
I don't know no other feeling, thank You, thank You
Heaven must be like this
It must be like this (It must be like this)
Sure enough it is, sure enough it is, sure enough it is (Yeah)
Heaven must be like this (Real, real, real)
It must be like this
Where the streets are paved with gold
No one ever grows old, no
[Outro]
Never felt real love (Oh yeah)
'Til I found You
Don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go?
Hey, real, real, real, real (Oh, Heaven, yeah)
Real, real, real, real, real, real
Real, real, real, Heaven, oh, oh, oh
It must be like this
