BACK TO OUR FIRST LOVE LYRICS
Share
Revelation 2:2-5, Luke 10:38-42, Matthew 7:22-23, Hosea 6:6
VERSE 1
Our hands are busy our calendars full
We're building Your kingdom we're following the rules
Worked the harvest we've stood for Your name
And we'd do it all over again
We've persevered we've held our ground
We're so busy making You renowned
PRE-CHORUS
In the chaos of all we have done
We've somehow forgotten the One
We're busy for You but are we with You?
The work feels so hollow it's ringing untrue
CHORUS
We're coming back to our first love
It's not just the service it's not just the work
It's You only You our heart's greatest worth
Oh Lord we remember and Lord we return
Let the fire of our first love burn
Let it burn
VERSE 2
We've learned to serve with all of our might
We're running on fumes through the day and the night
Tested the truth we've guarded the flock
We're founded and firm on the solid rock
But a quiet ache a distant call
Reminds us that we've let it fall
PRE-CHORUS
'Cause in the chaos of all we have done
We've somehow forgotten the One
We're busy for You but are we with You?
The work feels so hollow it's ringing untrue
CHORUS
We're coming back to our first love
It's not just the service it's not just the work
It's You only You our heart's greatest worth
Oh Lord we remember and Lord we return
Let the fire of our first love burn
Let it burn
BRIDGE
We consider the height from which we have fallen
And we hear Your voice tenderly calling
We repent we turn from the noise
And run back to the sound of Your voice
We just want to be where You are
Just to sit at Your feet to be close to Your heart
This is the work this is the part
To love You Lord with all of our heart
We just want to be where You are
Just to sit at Your feet, to be close to Your heart
This is the work this is the part
To love You Lord with all of our heart
We just want to be where You are
Just to sit at Your feet, to be close to Your heart
This is the work this is the part
To love You Lord with all of our heart!
CHORUS
We're coming back to our first love
It's not just the service, it's not just the work
It's You, only You, our heart's greatest worth
Oh Lord, we remember, and Lord, we return
Let the fire of our first love burn
Let it burn
We're coming back to our first love
It's not just the service, it's not just the work
It's You, only You, our heart's greatest worth
Oh Lord, we remember, and Lord, we return
Let the fire of our first love burn
Let it burn
