Back to My First Love

I never should have left
I'm sorry that I went away
I was too blind to see
That leaving You
Would cause me so much pain
But now I know
There is no place that I can go
But to the cross

Why do we cause ourselves
So much unneeded grief
(So much grief)
When we know how much
You've done to make us free
You cared so much for us
You gave unselfishly
Your very life You sacrificed

I am back once again
With my first love
My own strength was not enough
To save me from my sins
I am back with my first love
Jesus, once again

I am so glad that I can tell
The story of my life
That my heart was changed
From what is wrong to what is right
I've got the Lord to thank
He's covered me with grace
Until the day I learn to seek His face

I am back once again
With my first love
(Oh, with my first love)
My own strength was not enough
(Oh-oh-oh-oh...)
To save me from my sins
I am back with my first love
(I am back, my first love)
Jesus, once
(Jesus, once again)

I am back once again
(I never should have left Your side)
With my first love
(My first love)
My own strength was not enough
To save me from my sins
(I can't save myself)
I am back with my first love
(I am back, my first love, Jesus Christ)
Jesus, once again
