Have I left my first love
somewhere down the road?
Have I lost my sight of Him
while shouldering life's load?
Have I been so busy that
the covers of His Book
have not been daily opened
for a fresh and thirsty look?
Have I failed to arrange
that precious time alone
to seek His face and daily lay
my needs before His throne?
Have I been asleep
although the opportunity
to share the good news of my Lord
was placed in front of me?
When did I last tell someone
of His redeeming grace
and does this say I truly have
priorities in place?
Does my church attendance
reveal a dedication
to love, serve, and worship
within HIs congregation?
Or do I find my service
brings mighty clouds of dust
yet lacks the joy and fruitfulness
that flows from love and trust?
Have I followed in His steps
with joy that's overflowed
or have I left my first love
somewhere down the road?
