Here are some of my lyrics:

First love
You care
Taking up one's cross
Thank you Lord
Never the same again
Forever in every day
First love
inspired by: 1 John 4: 10

(dedicated to Ruth whom I love dearly.)

Before my mother and father
I was loved by You first
Before I knew I needed anything
You’d quenched my thirst

Before my brothers and sisters
I was loved by you first
And even in my darkest hour
I’ve been blessed not cursed

You’re my first love
You send me soring like the eagles above
You’re my first love
You hold me higher than the angels above

One time excited two times down
Till suddenly I realized that You’ve set my crown
It is not man-made but it is heavenly-skilled
All my longing and my dreams have been fulfilled

You’re my first love
You send me soring like the eagles above
You’re my first love
You hold me higher than the angels above

You are not what you have and
you are not what you do
Before you ever took a breath
He had set His eyes on you
You are nothing like what others
Might say about you
You are His beloved child and He’s
Reaching out to you

You’re my first love
You send me soring like the eagles above
You’re my first love
You hold me higher than the angels above

You’re my first love and only love.
