My First Love

How could I feel so empty again
Years ago I knew you, where have I been
Somewhere I got caught in the pursuit of righteous works
Cleaning up the hen house as my home collects dirt

I know better
Better, better than this
I know better
Better, better than this
You're my first love, my first love

Oh religion pulls me
From the altar to the door
Jesus you remind me
I'm your bride not an usher

I know better
Better
Better than this
I know better
Better
Better than this
You're my first love
My first love

I open my ears to hear the call to return
To my first love, my first love
I put the first things first, my lamp will burn
For my first love, my first love
I open my ears to hear the call to return
To my first love, my first love
I put the first things first, my lamp will burn
For my first love, my first love

You're my first love
You're my first love
You're my first love

It's not enough to hate the things you hate
I need to be with you at your tree and eat
To know you is to love you, I promise you this
My vows renewed, resolute, I won't forget

I'll never know better, I'll never know better
I'll never know better, I'll never know better
Than my first love, my first love
