Lyrics
I’m returning to the secret place
Just an altar and a flame
Love is found here
In our sacred space
I hear Your voice I see Your face
You’re still my first love
You’re still my only one
You’re still my first love
You’re still my only one
There’s a table just for You and me
Break the bread and pour the wine
Perfect union
Nothing in between
I am Yours and You are mine
I feel my heart beating out of my chest
I wanna stay forever like this
May the flame of my heart always be lit
I wanna burn forever like this
Your love is wild
Your love is wild for me

Meaning & Inspiration
First Love centers on renewed devotion in the hidden place of prayer, where an altar, a flame, and the nearness of God frame worship as personal communion. The repeated confession that God remains the first and only love gives the song its focus. Images of bread and wine add a covenantal dimension, while the language of belonging presents surrender as an answer to divine love rather than an attempt to earn it.
The prayer that the flame of the heart remain lit closely echoes the call to enduring spiritual fervor. The table shared with God also recalls the fellowship represented in Communion, though the lyric presents the image poetically. As the song moves from quiet encounter to a desire to burn continually, it portrays worship as sustained affection, attention, and loyalty in God’s presence.
