First Love

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

I won’t wash away like branches in rain

I’d rather be kindling in the light

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

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

The river runs fast, but You wait at the banks

And pull us like driftwood from the wild

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

You’ll see this world return, and Your first love

Love You first
