Restoration of First Love

[Restoration of First Love]

[Verse 1]
Ephesus, praised for toil and steadfast stand
Living truth, rejecting evil's hand
Battling sin till blood may flow in streams
For the Lord's name, enduring all dreams

[Chorus]
Oh, return to your first love's flame
Repent and reclaim those initial claims
Lest your lampstand be removed from sight
Holy Spirit fills, embrace eternal light

[Verse 2]
Cast out the wicked, guide with love's pure grace
Admonish gently, lead to truth's embrace
Lest hardened hearts like leaven spread wide
Holy altar rise, in God's will abide

[Chorus]
Oh, return to your first love's flame
Repent and reclaim those initial claims
Lest your lampstand be removed from sight
Holy Spirit fills, embrace eternal light

[Verse 3]
Unmask false apostles, pierce with truth's keen sword
In trials reveal, deceptions unexplored
Through persecutions, joy and thanks overflow
Expand God's kingdom, in fervent glow

[Chorus]
Oh, return to your first love's flame
Repent and reclaim those initial claims
Lest your lampstand be removed from sight
Holy Spirit fills, embrace eternal light

[Verse 4]
Be diligent in prayer, never slack or slow
Weep for souls, in anguish let tears flow
Shun worldly compromise, in truth reside
Awake for Christ's return, with hearts allied

[Chorus]
Oh, return to your first love's flame
Repent and reclaim those initial claims
Lest your lampstand be removed from sight
Holy Spirit fills, embrace eternal light

[Verse 5]
First encounter's joy, Spirit's overflow
Gather eagerly, gospel seeds to sow
As time unfolds, let passion burn anew
Race toward heaven, faithful and true

[Chorus]
Oh, return to your first love's flame
Repent and reclaim those initial claims
Lest your lampstand be removed from sight
Holy Spirit fills, embrace eternal light

[Verse 6]
In turning back, Lord's grace cascades profound
Lost love revives, in blooms unbound
Become the holy bride, in arms divine
Eternal praise in heaven's shine

[Chorus]
Oh, return to your first love's flame
Repent and reclaim those initial claims
Lest your lampstand be removed from sight
Holy Spirit fills, embrace eternal light
