Real Love

Theology & Meaning

A declaration that God's love is unlike any human love—it is real, unconditional, pursuing, and transforming. Vertical Church Band's (James MacDonald's Harvest Bible Chapel) worship draws on Reformed evangelical theology with a focus on the objective reality of divine love that changes lives.

Worship Leadership Tips

Works well as a mid-set anthem or response song after a message on the love of God. The chorus is instantly memorable. Works across a wide age range. Can be effective in evangelistic contexts to communicate the nature of God's love.

Arrangement Tips

Contemporary worship feel with driving guitar and keys. Full band from first chorus. The arrangement should feel warm and accessible rather than overly polished. Backing vocals add a communal feel. The bridge can build to a sustained declaration before a final triumphant chorus.
