about

When I was about 10, I told my best friend that I hope I drop dead the very second I come to deny Jesus. At that time, I knew not much about doctrines and whatnot. I just watched this Jesus come to my rescue from witchcraft to physically getting poisoned by people that wanted me dead. All I knew was that I LOVED Jesus out of a grateful heart and wanted to tell everyone about him.
Twenty-some years later, I lost a bit of that. In my desire to tell everyone, I discovered things like music, public speaking, and ministry that took much effort, planning, and intentionality. But they also took away that love rooted in genuine gratefulness. Don't get me wrong, these things bore much fruit and I am ever grateful. But I also got too busy talking ABOUT Jesus, that I lost the talking TO &WITH Him, my first love and best friend.
This season of confinement and hospitalizations has brought my heart back to that time. As I was humbly repenting, I found him even nearer smiling available and ready to jump back in where we left off.
How about you? How have you forsaken your first love? How do you get back?
I hope this tune helps.

lyrics

MY FIRST LOVE

Verse1
The first time I heard you say
how beautiful you find me
How much you love me
You rescue my heart with truth
I heard it from many
But not one compares to
The way you spoke beauty to my ears anew

Verse2
No matter how far I am
You always pursue me
Always remind me
How precious I am to you
Is it desperation
Or the yearning for your embrace
The tenderness in your gaze
That's lulling me home to you

Chorus
One Thing
I'm wanting only one thing
Would you be my first love
Be my first love

You love my soul to death
You treasure my every breath
More than I do myself
So I'll trust in you.

Chorus
One Thing
I'm wanting only one thing
Would you be my first love
Be my first love

One Thing
I'm wanting only one thing
Would you be my first love
Be my first love
