Here's another song from my archives.
First Love
You say you've been struggling to keep up the fight
so your light will shine bright as the day.
And I know it is hard to make a strong stand,
it always seems to happen that way.
You're standing around with walls crumbling down
you feel like you're left all alone.
Have you examined inside to see if you find
if there is anyone at home.
Forsake not your first love, forsake not your first love.
You started out fine with peace of mind
everything seemed to go your way.
Then you looked to yourself when the going got tough
now you've got no place to stay.
"But it's really not my fault," you say in your heart
I've followed Him all the the way.
Well then, if it's not your fault, then who's fault is it?
You've got to get your pride out of the way.
Forsake not your first love, forsake not your first love.
Return to your first love, return to your first love.
Lift up your eyes & look to the skies,
for your redemption draweth nigh.
And He will clean house, & put love in your heart,
so you can throw off your disguise.
And what you need to know as you sail in this life,
strengthen the things that remain.
Is that Jesus must be number one in your life
and there He must always remain.
Forsake not your first love, forsake not your first love.
Return to your first love, return to your first love.
