Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me burn for you
Like the raging seas
Toss around the waters
Let my heart move for You
My love has grown cold
Send your fire
Grace take me higher
Bring me back to that young love back to that simple place
Bring me back Lord, bring me back
To that young love
Like an ocean breeze coming off the harbor
Let me take you in
Like an early spring comes to break the winter
Bring me life again
When my loves grown breathless
Send your spirit
When passion has run dead
Grace resurrect it
Bring me back to that young love
Back to that simple place
Where you had all of my trust
When I had that youthful faith
Bring me back Lord, bring me back
To that young love
Like when I took my first breath
Like when I took my first steps to you
Like the first time I heard it
Your voice speaking truth
Like the first time a rose my hands
Like the first time I jumped and dance
Like the first time I took a chance
Like the first time I felt so new
Bring me back
Lord bring me back
To that young love
Would ya bring me back to Your love
Bring me back
Bring me back
To that young love
Bring me back
Bring me back
To that young love
Bring me back
Bring me back
To that young love
Young Love by James Paek is a song that talks about the desire to revive the intimate relationship between a person and God. The first stanza uses powerful imagery to describe how the singer wants to burn with passion for God like the blazing heat of summer in the desert, and how they want their heart to move for Him like the raging seas toss around the waters. However, the second stanza suggests that the relationship has become stale, and the singer is pleading with God to send His fire and grace to reignite the passion and resurrect the deadness within them. The chorus aims to evoke nostalgia, as they call for God to bring them back to their young love, a place where they trust Him and have a youthful faith, where everything feels new and fresh.
The third stanza is a reflection of the singer's journey with God, how they want to return to the initial state of their relationship where they felt alive, just like when they took their first breath, heard God's voice for the first time, or experienced something new like holding the first rose or dancing for the first time. The repetition of "bring me back" and "to that young love" in the chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to reconnect with God on a deep level, to experience a reawakening of their faith and become renewed once again.
