You say it's different now, then how it was before
You do your best, but you don't feel it anymore
What happened to the days when your life just seemed to flow
Miracles were happening wherever you would go
You tried so hard it seems to do the righteous thing
But oh, the trials that came and the shadows it would bring
You went to meetings and you'd be the first to pray
You even spoke a prophecy, was only yesterday
But something's wrong, something's wrong with you
Though you tried your best, the Lord just didn't bless
You're wondrin' what to do
Return to your first love, put Jesus first again
The love in your heart you had when you first started
Could be there again
Return to your first love
You say you told your friends the things they're doin' wrong
You had a leading, yes, you felt it oh so strong
They looked so hurt I guess they didn't understand
Since then your counseling, has not been in demand
You tried to give advice, but found you were ignored
But even though they scoffed, you still said
"Praise the Lord anyway'
And you thought Christians were to be of one accord
Is there a dull edge on that double-edged sword?
No, no something's wrong, something's wrong with you
Though you tried your best, the Lord just didn't bless
You're wondrin' what to do
Return to your first love, put Jesus first again
The love in your heart you had when you first started
Could be there again
Return to your first love
Return to your first love
Do do do doo do do
do do do doo do do
