Man, this song hits me hard. I love it. I continue to pray that my love for Christ will burn brighter. So many distractions and temptations seek to pull me away from my first love. And at the same time the song causes me to reflect on the many people I know who have strayed from the Lord. Loving Father, bring them back to your side.
VERSE 1:
This is all I want
That the love I have for You
Doesn’t fade along with youth
Can You help with that
The reason that I ask
I’ve seen far too many friends
Walk away and not come back
I want more than that
PRE-CHORUS 1:
I won’t wash away
Like branches in rain
I’d rather be kindling in the light
CHORUS 1:
Set me on fire like I’ve never known
I want to love You more as life goes on
So all of my days I’ll place
My first love first again
VERSE 2:
This is all I pray
Over everything I ask
That my friends one day come back
Can You help with that
God I know You can
‘Cause the fire won’t mean a thing
If it ends right here with me
You want more than that
PRE-CHORUS 2:
The river runs fast
But You wait at the banks
And pull us like driftwood from the wild
CHORUS 2:
So set me on fire like I’ve never known
I want to love You more as life goes on
So all of my days I’ll place
My first love first again
Once I was drifting but You called me home
So I’ll give my life for the ones still lost
And I’ll see my friends reclaim
Their first love first again
CHORUS 3:
So set me on fire like I’ve never known
I want to love You more as life goes on
And all of my days I’ll place
My first love first again
Once I was drifting but You called me home
So I’ll give my life for the ones still lost
And I’ll see my friends reclaim
Their first love first again
TAG:
You’ll see this world return
And Your first love love You first
