VERSE 1:
This is all I want
That the love I have for You
Doesn’t fade along with youth
Can You help with that
The reason that I ask
I’ve seen far too many friends
Walk away and not come back
I want more than that

PRE-CHORUS 1:
I won’t wash away
Like branches in rain
I’d rather be kindling in the light

CHORUS 1:
Set me on fire like I’ve never known
I want to love You more as life goes on
So all of my days I’ll place
My first love first again

VERSE 2:
This is all I pray
Over everything I ask
That my friends one day come back
Can You help with that
God I know You can
‘Cause the fire won’t mean a thing
If it ends right here with me
You want more than that

PRE-CHORUS 2:
The river runs fast
But You wait at the banks
And pull us like driftwood from the wild

CHORUS 2:
So set me on fire like I’ve never known
I want to love You more as life goes on
So all of my days I’ll place
My first love first again
Once I was drifting but You called me home
So I’ll give my life for the ones still lost
And I’ll see my friends reclaim
Their first love first again

CHORUS 3:
So set me on fire like I’ve never known
I want to love You more as life goes on
And all of my days I’ll place
My first love first again
Once I was drifting but You called me home
So I’ll give my life for the ones still lost
And I’ll see my friends reclaim
Their first love first again

TAG:
You’ll see this world return
And Your first love love You first

[WorshipNight]

I was about to die from an overdose in my apartment in Miami all alone after so many different drugs…I went to grab my phone and I couldn’t even see what I pressed and out of no where YouTube started and this song played. My heart was beating out of my chest and then the room turned white and I felt at peace. My heart slowed down and I survived. Jesus Christ is real people. He saved my life....

[cosmejillianjoyce]

There's nothing sadder than seeing your friends who grew spiritually with you slowly drifting away from Him. It even makes you feel guilty thinking that your prayers and efforts aren't enough so you just cry it out to the Lord asking Him to help you pull back those turning souls.

[Nguyen_The_Quan]

I am a Christian but for years I lost my faith and lately I find myself suicidal. Today I woke up with hope again, and this song is helping me calm my heart. I realized that only Jesus can heal me. Thank you Jesus. The light in the darkness, that is who you are. ❤

[ejjvhnn]

I'm here during the craziness of the world right now, seeking God and praying. My dad is not a Christian and this song is my prayer for him, that God may save his soul and help him see the light, especially during this season. Pls pray for him, that he may come to know the Lord

[greatestchristian]

To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. Amen.

[CarterLeachFilm]

Renee is incredible! This is easily one of the most moving songs on the album. Definitely a great prayer for our generation.

[eltonguzman]

"So I’ll give my life for the ones still lost

and I’ll see my friends reclaim their first love first again" 😭

[WilliamBintz-je]

This song has such a impact on me, all I've ever wanted is to see everyone to turn back to Jesus Christ and love one another

[Verse 1]
This is all I want
That the love I have for You
Doesn't fade along with youth
Can You help with that?
The reason that I ask
I've seen far too many friends
Walk away and not come back
I want more than that

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I won't wash away
Like branches in rain
I'd rather be kindling in the light

[Chorus 1]
Set me on fire like I've never known
I want to love You more as life goes on
So all of my days I'll place
My first love first again

[Verse 2]
This is all I pray
Over everything I ask
That my friends one day come back
Can You help with that?
God I know You can
'Cause the fire won't mean a thing
If it ends right here with me
You want more than that
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The river runs fast
But You wait at the banks
And pull us like driftwood from the wild

[Chorus 2]
So set me on fire like I've never known
I want to love You more as life goes on
So all of my days I'll place
My first love first again
Once I was drifting but You called me home
So I'll give my life for the ones still lost
And I'll see my friends reclaim
Their first love first again

[Interlude]
Ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh

[Chorus 3]
So set me on fire like I've never known
I want to love You more as life goes on
And all of my days I'll place
My first love first again
Once I was drifting but You called me home
So I'll give my life for the ones still lost
And I'll see my friends reclaim
Their first love first again
[Tag]
You'll see this world return
And Your first love, love You first

I had a word from a pastor that the Lord opened my ears and I will listen to him like Samuel and that I will be a torch in the middle of the darkness. Just the last week started high school in the States because I came here one month and 2 weeks ago and there are more than 3000 students and there's one thing that I know, most of them don't know Christ and this song just made me realize something, that I have to pray for those who are lost and give my life in love for them, please pray for me, I need to share the gospel of our God to everyone and I don't want to get lost because there is a lot of temptation!!! Love you and God bless you all.

noon, lima kaming magkakaibigan. sabay sabay kaming nagwoworship sa lord and kapag nawawala ang iba or di nakapagworship talagang eneencourge namin, meron pa na may goal kami na makabuo ng disciples, makapagserve sa church kahit na mga bata pa kami but now nawala na yung tatlo samin. kami na lang dalawa na titira na nagwoworship, pinagpepray ko sila na makabalik sa woworship, alam ko na hindi ako/kami bibiguin ng lord dahil may pangako sya samin. sana makabalik pa sa pagwoworship yung tatlo ko pang kaibigan, yung bonding namin at especially maibalik sakanila yung paghahanap ng presence nila kay lord.

nung Nakita ko sila isang araw, kinamusta ko sila. kinamusta ko yung faith nila sobrang nag-iba na sila hindi gaya sa dati. pero hindi ako susuko, alam kong may pangako sakin ang lord na ibabalik nya sa pagwoworship ang mga kaibigan ko, na hindi lang kaming dalawa yung maliligtas, kundi lahat, lahat kami at lahat tayo.

[tuliohuggins]

This song is so real. Over the past couple months, my struggles have gotten footholds in my life. Not only that, but my sisters are falling away from God. This song is a great prayer to God. Please pray for me and my sisters to go back to God(and if my sisters aren’t Christian, that they will know Him)

[baladasmusicaromantica]

2010 I was depressed, suicidal thoughts of taking other people down with me..I was at the end of my rope. I got invited to one of these shows (but went for the girls) I dropped to my knee's and wept. I couldn't stand in the Lords presence.. EVERYTHING changed after that.

[jakeblamas]

My I can't fully comprehend,
Like my brain can't fully understand how great this song is...

[ArleneDavid_]

When this song came on during conference I felt like it was just me and God in that room, father in heaven there is no love that is greater than the love you have for us.❤️🙏🏾

[bethelmenil]

"That my friends one day come back"... my prayer as always 😭😭😭😭😭

[WorshipChannel]

It's morning 5 am and I woke up to this song in worship!!! I just cannot stop blessing and worshipping my Lord this morning. In Him I find my purpose and life!! Every other thing is just a lie.

[des]

I was skipping this song on spotify. But God made a way to make me love this. This is one of my theme song.

[louiemclane]

Reneé's voice is so genuine. I love her singing live. Praise Jesus for her life!

[tatatayeontann]

Everyone's saying that they're here because of Ashley or any other people, but im here of God. Who's with me? ❤️
