First Love

Just when it seemed that all was lost, I learned again about the cost... 
 of the love I thought that I had known so long, we clung to life, we lost our song...

 The yearning was met with shame and with burden.  The present was black, the future uncertain.

We called out Your name, not all at once but in our separate desperation...

and You answered once for both, with a resounding YES- a celebration.. 

of the life you brought together in the presence of Your love...

never ending, always enduring, a blessed mercy from above.  

An answer to the need for more than just one heart...we found our place inside Your grasp and as two became one our voice was heard.  
First LOVE!  I long to taste your ease..the burden so very light and the walk so very free. 

First LOVE!  I long to see that smile it has been so long...it has been a while...since I have loved like that..since I have danced like that...since I have spoken so gently...since I have sat so intently...

First LOVE!  Come find me, I'm too tired to even crawl...to You...

 I want nothing more than to cling...to You...

 I want it ALL.
