Verse 1:
I remember when I was young
And your voice shouting loud my name
Since that moment
Never heard it quite that way
Now that I’m older
Could you say it again
Verse 2:
I remember when I was afraid
Oh the hand I felt lead the way
For the first time in my life I felt safe
Now that I’m older
Would you lead me again
Chorus:
When the storm is out on the ocean
And the violent wind get’s to blowing
Oh take me back, back
All the way back
Oh take me back to my first love
Verse 3:
I remember when I was blind
Until your love opened up my eyes
Oh my life, flooded with your light
Now that I’m older
Would you show me again
Oh would you show me again
Chorus:
When the storm is out on the ocean
And the violent wind get’s to blowing
Oh take me back, back
All the way back
Oh take me back to my first love
Bridge:
You are real to me
I’ve known it from the start
There’s no space between
The Heaven’s and my heart
You are near to me
I’ve never been too far
And in the in between
You brought Heaven to my heart
Write a review/comment/correct the lyrics of Take Me Back:
This song has really ministered to me and the way that it was sung just feels like this song is not just a melody but Dante's personal testimony. I love it and have been sharing it with as many people as I can.
This song right here just messed me up. It made me think of this saying that "familiarity brings contempt" which is something we tend to do after walking in this walk of faith for many years. We become too familiar with the requirements that our first love gets lost somewhere . May we remember now that Voice, May we remember that touch, May we remember the joy of serving Him because we are so in love. May we go back to our first love...
Thank you for such a powerful song! Keep on writing songs written from His throne room .
