In the Early Days

Lyrics

In the early days, I had a dream to be holy And conquer the nations through love In the early days, I'd never share in the glory Or praises of men's applause In the early days, I never thought it a problem To pray every night for all men In the early days, in my heart nothing mattered More than to be with Him Oh, Jesus, I want to go back To the days of my first love Oh, Jesus, take me back in my heart To my first love In the early days, I can remember the battles I'd fight every night with my sin In the early days, I can remember how often I'd fall on my knees and repent In the early days, I often gave my possessions To people who had less than me In the early days, I was completely abandoned To living my life for Him Oh, Jesus, I want to go back To the days of my first love Oh, Jesus, take me back in my heart To my first love Oh, Jesus, I want to go back To the days of my first love Jesus, take me back in my heart To my first love In the early days, I would tell people Whenever I met them that they should repent And in the early days, I would get angry Whenever the devil hurt one of my friends In the early days, singing songs unto Jesus Never became a routine And in the early days, I wanted only to please Him Through faith that could do anything Oh, Jesus, I want to go back To the days of my first love Oh, Jesus, take me back in my heart To my first love Oh, Jesus, I want to go back To the days of my first love Oh, Jesus, take me back in my heart To my first love Take me back (I want to go back) Take me back (Won't you take me back) Take me back to my first love Take me back Take me back Take me back to my first love...
