I Looked for Love
I looked for love
In the red rose so small
I looked for love
In the green trees so tall
But the red rose had its thorns
And the green tree was a cross
Was a cross
And my searching for love
Was a total loss
I looked for love
In a friendly face kinda true
I looked for love
In a creed that I once knew
Well my friend just called me friend
And he said I'm searching too
Searching too
And the creed only told me what I couldn't do
What I couldn't do
Then one day I heard the story
Of love like I've never known
How God gave His Son to save me
And wanted me for His own
His own, His very own
And now I know
What it means to belong
Not lost in a crowd
Swept along by the throng
But to Him who gave His life
Every longing to fulfill
Fulfill fulfill fulfill
And I know that He loves me
And He always will
Yes He always will
Yes He always will
Yes He always will
Yes He always will
In the red rose so small
I looked for love
In the green trees so tall
But the red rose had its thorns
And the green tree was a cross
Was a cross
And my searching for love
Was a total loss
I looked for love
In a friendly face kinda true
I looked for love
In a creed that I once knew
Well my friend just called me friend
And he said I'm searching too
Searching too
And the creed only told me what I couldn't do
What I couldn't do
Then one day I heard the story
Of love like I've never known
How God gave His Son to save me
And wanted me for His own
His own, His very own
And now I know
What it means to belong
Not lost in a crowd
Swept along by the throng
But to Him who gave His life
Every longing to fulfill
Fulfill fulfill fulfill
And I know that He loves me
And He always will
Yes He always will
Yes He always will
Yes He always will
Yes He always will
