Jesus Lord, You’re our first love

Jesus Lord

You’re our first love;

You’re the One we love the best.

When our heart is loving You

How we’re filled with Your sweet rest!

Lord

we love You for Yourself

Not for what You give or do.

Nothing else could e’er compare

With the joy of loving You.

Lord

we’ve been drawn off by many things;

Now we turn our heart back—how it sings!

We repent of loving other things—

Jesus

Lord

You’re our first love.

Never more could we desire

Anything that’s less than You

And to this we would aspire—

Simply to be filled with You.

Jesus Lord

You’re our first love;

You’re the One we love the best.

When our heart is loving You

How we’re filled with Your sweet rest!
