Awaken Love
Kim Walker-Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me back, to the moment of surrender
Heart completely Yours
Unafraid, just a child within Your presence
Trusting in You, Lord

Walk into this place, I give You space
Come and move around me
Meet me face to face, stir my heart
Awaken love within me

Jesus, come
Jesus, co-o-ome
My first love
My first love

Jesus, come
Jesus, come!
My first love
My first love

Take me back, to the moment of surrender
Heart completely Yours
Unafraid, just a child within Your presence
Trusting in You, Lord

Walk into this place, I give You space
Come and move around me
Meet me face to face, stir my heart
Awaken love within me
Love within me

Jesus, come
Jesus, co-o-ome
My first love
My first love

Jesus, come
Jesus, come!
My first love
My first love

I have wandered from Your love
Thought my strength was strength enough
I am done, relying on myself
You're the one who breaks my chains
You're the one who calls my name
I will look, to You and no one else

Take me back, to the moment of surrender
Heart completely Yours
Unafraid, just a child within Your presence
Trusting in You, Lord

Walk into this place, I give You space
Come and move around me
Meet me face to face, stir my heart
Awaken love within me

Jesus, come
Jesus, co-o-ome
My first love
My first love
Jesus, come
Jesus, come!
My first love
My first love!

Jesus, come
Jesus, co-o-ome
My first love
My first love
Jesus, come
Jesus, come!
My first love
My first love!

My first love!

The Lord has revealed many things to me in dreams and visions! Some of the things really scared me! I was always in his presence and never saw his face until one day ;I was kneeling and he was looking directly at me! I felt so overwhelmed but his demeanor was of such peace. He didn't say a word but he hugged me and I had a feeling of love, acceptance and unspeakable peace. It made me cry because he loves us unconditionally even though we fail him daily. Thank you Jesus for everything!

Kim - This song is so beautiful.  I play it over and over every morning as I pray and read scripture.  It fills my mind with God's word before I start my day and this morning I really felt the Holy Spirit shake my heart.  You are such a blessing.  Thank you and your family for sharing your gift.  What a blessing.
