You are drawing me into Your presence
To the beauty of Your Holiness
You are calling me to come and worship
And my answer to Your call is 'Yes'
I'm coming closer, closer to the flame
And I can hear Your voice as clear
As the first day, You say
Go back to your first love
Go back to your first love
Go back, return
And let the fires burn again
Go back to your first love
Go back to your first love
Go back, return
And let the fires burn again
I'm reminded of the days of passion
When my worship flowed so unrestrained, remember
Like the prodigal I've learned my lesson, yeah
And I never want to be the same
I'm coming closer, closer to the flame
And I can hear Your voice as clear
As the first day, You say
Go back to your first love
Go back to your first love
Go back, return
And let the fires burn again
Go back to your first love
Go back to your first love
Go back, return
And let the fires burn again
Go back, return
Go back to your first love
Go back to your first love
Go back, return
And let the fires burn again
Go back to your first love
Go back to your first love
Go back, return
And let the fires burn again
Go back, go back, go back
Go back, go back, go back
Turn around, return
And let the fires burn again
Go, how did you get here
Turn around you're gonna sound all over again
Go back return
And let the fires burn again, again, again
People are trippin' man
People need Jesus, Tommy
Let's get, let's bring Jesus to 'em
