My First Love

I am so "blasted" right now in God because Doug is playing "My First Love" sung by Jeremy Sinnott . . . I LOVE this song . . .and God's Love is all over our house! YEAH!!! Here are the blessed lyrics (just add a flute and guitar):

My first Love is a blazing fire,
I feel His powerful Love in me.
For He has kindled a flame of passion,
AND I WILL LET IT GLOW IN ME;
And in the night I will sing Your praise; My Love.

AND LIKE A CHILD I WILL DANCE IN YOUR PRESENCE
Oh, let the joy of Heaven pour down on me.
I STILL REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY I MET YOU,
AND I DON'T EVER WANT TO LOSE THAT FIRE!
MY FIRST LOVE!

My first love is rushing river,
A waterfall that will never cease;
And in the torrent of tears and laughter,
I feel a healing power released.
AND I WILL DRAW FROM YOUR WELL OF LIFE, MY LOVE.
AND IN YOUR GRACE I'LL BE SATISFIED, MY LOVE.
(cuz it's sufficient, Lord!)

Restore the years of the church's slumber,
Revive the fire that has grown so dim;
Renew the love of those first encounters,
That we may come alive again;
And we will rise like the dawn throughout the earth!
Announcing Your Return!!!

(Revelations 2:4 -- this was a "stellar" [outstanding in performance] church as far as works were concerned, but they placed their emphasis in their missions, programs and behavior (spiritual performances) over their intimacy and relationship with their Savior -- it started to become about them. But it's about Jesus and our extremely personal and passionate walk with Him. I like verse 2, where Jesus commended them for exposing false apostles . . .so we CAN disagree with leaders and make them accountable for their teachings and doctrines, huh? :) Noticing a problem, shouldn't make you" the problem.")
