Jesus Needs To Be My First Love

Jesus Needs to Be My First Love!

 I was raise in the Christian way.
I’d read my Bible about every day.

As a child, I asked Jesus to come in.
I was happy and was born again!

I wanted more of God and read
 the Bible many times.
I knew many verses
 in my mind.

As the years went by and I got old.
My love and passion for Christ
 became cold.

I lost my love for Christ 
and wasn’t concerned.
But something deep inside of me
 one day burned.

I felt God’s Spirit tugging at my heart.
I knew that on my knees was
 a good place to start.

I cried and asked for God’s forgiveness…
His love for me is strong and endless!

My love for Christ once more began to grow!
He truly is the best friend I’ll ever know!

The love he has for me is secure and binding!
An everlasting life with him
 is worth finding!

I’m so glad with the choice I’ve givin’!
He’s with me each day I’m livin’!
