VERSE 1
It’s sung by the woman who longs to be seen
It’s sung by the orphan who lives on the street
It’s sung by the rebel who’s wondering alone
It’s sung by the beggar pleading to be known
It’s a real song of love
VERSE 2
It’s sung by the hero who knows he’s a fraud
The one who, with it all, who really is lost
It’s sung by the young girl whose voice is suppressed
It’s sung by the old man who lives in the past
CHORUS
It’s a real song of love
It’s a real song of love
VERSE 3
It’s sung by the child whose born into pain
It’s sung by the failure whose drowning in blame
It’s sung by the beaten just trying to survive
It’s sung by the addict whose barely alive
CHORUS
It’s a real song of love
A real song of love
BRIDGE
He came and he found me
He called me by name
He knows what I’ve done
Yet loves me the same
His eyes see me different
From everyone else When I am with Jesus I can be myself
VERSE 4
You and I are no different from anyone else
And if we’re all honest we’re broken as well
We’re caught in the crisis, we’ve all been condemned
Jesus still knows us
Yes Jesus still meets us
With a real song of love

Last year we released "Mothers And Shepherds", which has the gravitas of a Christmas classic. This year we wanted to switch it up with a lighthearted bop.
A Christmas song that forces hope, disaster and pursuit to meet on a painful, yet dauntingly beautiful path that exposes how much we’ve always needed a savior.
Irie, the Jamaican greeting, is a place where love, peace and a sound mind become more than words and ideas, but the safe house of being and knowing.
A worship song by Homecoming, a project dedicated to telling stories of faith from the Asian-American Community.
Anticipating a day when every valley is raised up and every mountain brought low and we stand side by side on a level playing field.
In our screen-numbed, sleepwalking culture, every once in a while we need a wake up call to push us from apathy back into action.
A five movement audiovisual art piece by Seaux Chill celebrating the past, present, and future of Black Indianapolis.
