First Love

 

The love we felt that first day or night

when Jesus took us in

And the flooding peace we still recall

as He brushed away our sin

The days that followed… then months, then years

the altars where we’ve grown

First Love must stay kindled

if we’re to make it home.

 

Our days now pass so quickly…

so much darker than before

CNN and the internet

report horrors by the score

Many we meet feel hopeless…

lives wasting with no sure home

Just as each of us would be

if First Love we’d never known.

 

So oft when God reminds me

I race to write it down

For I know He deals the same with all

who’ve taken up a crown

His spirit will sustain us, yes!

for the short time that remains

But First Love must stay kindled

if we’re to rule and reign.

Thank you so much for the beautiful reminder. It's so easy to get lost in the swamp of worldly troubles.

Gives me goosebumps! God is soooo awesome. This is like a warm blanket being wrapped around you, and you being lifted up to set on Papa's lap.
