First Love

I can labour day and night
And give my life as a sacrifice
But without a first love, I’ve missed it all
A pure devotion with my life
To count all loss, that I may know Christ
O to have a first love, is worth it all

Chorus:
To seek You, Lord
To know Your ways
To have fellowship in the quiet place
To hear Your voice
To know Your heart
That’s what it means to choose the better part
O without a first love, I’ve missed it all

Keep me from the thorns of life
Pleasures and cares, my own desires
Let this heart be fruitful, and rest in You
I lay this vessel at Your feet
Empty and broken there’s hope for me
Jesus be my portion, my all in all

Final Chorus:
To seek You, Lord
To know Your ways
To have fellowship in the quiet place
To hear Your voice
To know Your heart
That’s what it means to choose the better part
O without a first love, I’ve missed it all
O to have a first love, is worth it all
