Lyrics
I remember when
All I knew to do was sing Your name
And I remember when
All I longed to do was give You p raise
Jesus light the first love fire in me again
I wanna fall in I wanna fall in
I wanna fall in love with You again
Back to the start where it
Was all about one thing
I wanna fall in love with You again
And I remember when
I couldn't wait to tell some one
I was lost within the joy
And gratitude for all that You've done
Jesus light the first love fire in me again
I wanna fall in I wanna fall in
I wanna fall in love with You again
Back to the start where it
Was all about one thing
I wanna fall in love with You again
With you again
Jesus light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire
Jesus light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire
Jesus light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire
Jesus light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire
I wanna fall in I wanna fall in
I wanna fall in love with You again
Back to the start where it
Was all about one thing
I wanna fall in love with You again
With you again
Back to the start where it
Was all about one thing
I wanna fall in love with You again
With you again
Jesus light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire
Jesus light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire

Meaning & Inspiration
First Love Fire is a prayer for renewed devotion to Jesus. The lyric looks back to an earlier simplicity marked by singing Christ’s name, offering praise, and eagerly speaking about what he had done. That memory is not treated as nostalgia for its own sake; it becomes a confession that affection has cooled and a request for God to rekindle it. Repetition gives the central plea unusual clarity: Jesus is asked to become the one desire again, restoring worship to its original focus.
The language of returning to a first love strongly recalls Revelation 2:4-5, where the church in Ephesus is called to remember and return to its former works. Psalm 51:12 also fits the request for restored joy and willing devotion after spiritual decline. The declaration that God alone is desired echoes Psalm 73:25, which places delight in God above every other possession. These connections frame the song as repentance joined with hope, seeking not merely stronger emotion but a reordered allegiance centered on Christ.
