Mark & Sarah Tillman's song is a prayer for spiritual renewal, asking God to rekindle a passionate love for Him. The lyrics use imagery of embers and ashes to express a desire for the return of an intense, first-love devotion to Jesus. It reflects a longing to return to a time when faith burned brightly and was undivided. The song emphasizes surrender and the need for Christ to take His rightful place in the heart.
Verse
Breathe on the embers of our hearts oh Lord
Until our affections are only yours
Breathe on the ashes of our fading burn
Until the flames of love return
Chorus
Take me all the way back
To my first love, my first love
To when my heart was undone
When your fire raged within me
Bridge
When enough was never enough
And the flame was never tamed
Jesus once again
Take your rightful place
