First Love

There’s a longing inside of my heart

For a love that is all-consuming

That inspires each breath that I breathe

And determines who I want to be

Each moment to be purposed around

What the love my life desires

A love that never grows cold

But blazes in my like a fire

This longing I feel is not wrong

In fact it’s an inherent part

Of how You designed me to be

It’s the way You fashioned my heart

But this love is found in One only

Others simply mimic Your ways

When consumed by my First Love, my God

Satisfaction finally remains

You alone are my First Love, oh God

No one can stand in Your place

 My Groom, my eyes are fixed upon You

Your presence makes my heart race

Though one day someone will enter my life

Your in place in my eyes will not move

Because You are and will be the First Love

            of my life

My Lord, my passion is You
