I've searched the world over
For a pure perfect love
A dream of mankind
But a bright elusive dove
I hear about it on the radio
It's in the books I've read
But when we think we've found it
It's already fled and gone
But I've finally found the answer
I'd like to share it with you
It's older than time but its forever true
Just listen friend
I found it in the bible
You know that's God's holy word
In a man from God named Jesus
Who loved the whole world so much
That He came and He gave His life
So that we who believe might live
He's seated with the Father
And He continues to give us love and hope
Now Jesus Christ my savior
He's the lover of my soul
Love me just because I am
It's a love that will never go away
Oh this pure and perfect love my friend
I'd like to share it with you
A gift from my Father
He's your Father too only believe
You can find it in the bible
You know that's God's holy word
In a man from God named Jesus
Who loved the whole world so much
That He came and He gave His life
So that we who believe might live
And now He's seated with the Father
And He continues to give us love and hope
