[Verse 1]
Em
I remember the heights,
     Esus4                   Em
From which I have fallen, I remember my tears,
Em                 Em6          Em               Esus4
All the hunger and longing, I remember the fire,
        D
Of Your Spirit upon me,
          Am
And how I moved with Your Heart,
   C
Oh come now restore me.

       Em              D         C
I’m in earnest and I repent, I remember and return,
       Am
Do the things I did at first,
        Em                 D
I’ll be zealous and I’ll repent,
        C
I’ll remember and return,
       Am

   Em
So here is my heart,
         D
Come and wound me with longing,
         C
Let your refiner’s fire,
         Am
Come and have its way fully,
     Em
Till righteousness flows,
       D
Like a flood from within me,
         C
Till the zeal of the Lord,
    Am
Completely consumes me.

First, first, first love,

I’m returning to my first love, Lord.
