First Love
Antioch Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where all I want is you
Jesus you are more than enough
All I need is you
One thing I ask
That shall I seek
I want to be with you my King
One thing I ask
I want to be with you my King
Take me back to my first love
When things(??) ever grow dim
The shadows flee(??) as you draw me to you
My heart burns again
One thing I ask
That shall I seek
I want to be with you my King
One thing I ask
That shall I seek
I want to be with you my King
I've got to see it
I've got to shout it
You have been good to me
I've got to see it
I've got to shout it
You have been good to me
You have been good to me...
One thing I ask
That shall I seek
I want to be with you my King
One thing I ask
That shall I seek
I want to be with you my King
Take me back to my first love
Where all I want is you
Jesus you are more than enough
All I need is you
