LoveMusic! - 4Him - "Real Thing"


4Him - 25th Anniversary Tour "Real Thing"

4Him  (L-R) Marty Magehee, Andy Chrisman, Kirk Sullivan, Mark Harris

July 9, 2017

For many years 4Him blessed us with great music. In fact, more than 25 years of great music! 

In November of 2015, my daughter Hannah surprised me with tickets to their last tour together, their "25th Anniversary Tour." What a joy it was to be there, hearing my favorite group of all time, sharing songs that I had listened to, probably in all of those 25 years. 

In fact, when my four kids were older (Josh Ben, Hannah, and Christen), I heard them make comments about our family car travel times, listening to 4Him CDs. (And probably cassette tapes before then.)

Their song "Real Thing", really strikes at the heart of the matter, when we think about the world we live in, the people around us, and how we all need Jesus. He is the real thing.

Be blessed in your listening, as your heart catches the message, while your spirit longs to see the world...come to Jesus.

Jesus - the Real Thing.

Shalom my friends,

P.S. The YouTube recording you are about to hear is from that 25th Anniversary Tour itself. Hannah, Ben and I were also able to receive "pre-show" interview tickets with the guys when someone wasn't able to attend, and thus we got great seats near the front. My Canon SureShot camera had a workout, recording many videos and still shots during the interview time and concert that followed. 

Enjoy the love that comes through the lyrics.

4 HIM LYRICS


"Real Thing"

I can dream about Heaven
Constantly both day and night
I can let my mind drift away
To a better place, a better time

Though there's nothing wrong
With thinking about
Forever by and by
All the while millions are still
Searching for a light

Maybe it is time we take a look
At here and now
Maybe we can change the destiny
Of a world that's crying out

For the truth we take for granted
Is too often left unsaid
We can get so Heaven minded
That sometimes we forget

That we're living in a real world
With real hurt and real pain
And all we really need is the real thing

When we look beyond our circumstances
And face reality
We'll realize that all we really need
Is just to see

Jesus in a real world

There are days when I look around
And I feel like hope is gone
There are times my heart is torn between
Who is right and what is wrong

There are causes I believe in
There are things I'll never change
But I'm finding all that matters
Is there's just one truth
One truth that remains
