When I was young and a member of our Christian youth fellowship in our church, we're always learning new songs and one of my favorite was "My First Love" though at that time i don't give much attention to the wordings or lyrics as long as there is a "love" word i thought that's just fine with me, you know teenagers - love songs.
Here goes the lyrics:
"My First Love"
The world will sing their love song
of love so sad and blue;
My love is Christ, who gave His life
My first love is real love so true.
Cho.
My first love, my sweet love,
my true love is Jesus
no other love can take my heart from Him.
My saviour, my healer,
my lover is Jesus
Oh I love my first love who saved me from sin.
My love has never cheated,
He's true and true can be;
My love is Christ who gave His life
My first love forever the same.
(Repeat Chorus)
As I became older, fall into the world BIG TIME, though I have not totally forgotten that song, it hardly came to my mind and sang it.
Another song that has been my lifeline even when I was so much in the world was the song "1 Peter 5:7". I said this was and still is my lifeline to Jesus because everytime I was troubled, has problems that seems so heavy that many times I thought of suicide, I will repeat this song over and over ("1 Peter 5:7" I cast all my cares upon You, I lay all of my burdens, down at your feet, and many times I don't know what to do, I will cast all my cares upon You) till I will calm down and it will made me sleep and when I woke up I will feel lighthearted and sure do feel God's presence in my life. Tho the problems will not disappear, but my head will be clearer and God will see me through the storm.
When God dragged me to Him, letting me know His truth through BT, boy what a revelation (My First Love) that song is to me. I've returned back to my first love.
