Verse 1
It's hard, yeah, it's hard to love sometimes
Hard to treat everyone, everyone the way you want to be treated, yeah
For God so loved this world (God so loved this world)
That He gave His only Son (that He gave His only son)
So that we might see, how much He loved us –

I want a love; I want a love like that
I want a love, like You, when You gave Your Son for me
I want a love like that

Verse 2
Sometimes, I wonder, will I ever pass these tests?
When friends and family (friends and family-ee-ee-ee)
Hurt my feelings so bad – and at night, I couldn't get no rest (I couldn't get no rest)
But I'll try to love like God (try to love like God)
When He gave His Son for me (gave His Son for me)
Said He gave Him up to die, so that from sin we would be free

(chorus and lead)
I want a love; I want a love like that
I want a love, like You, when You gave Your Son for me
I want a love like that
(Repeat)

Oh, help me Lord (help me Lord) along my way (along my way)
I want to do Your Will, each and every day (oo-ah)
Oh, when it gets so hard, then I will pray (I will pray)
To be more like You (more like You) ... here's what I'll say (ah):

Oh, I'll love my friends, and my family
My next-door neighbor – even my enemies

(chorus and lead ad libs)
I want a love, oh I want a love like that
I want a love, like You, when You gave Your Son for me
I want a love like that
(Repeat)

Lead ad libs over chorus:
I want a love, I want a love like that (Repeat to end, invert)
