For The First Time Again

(album: Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue - 2009)

I'm tired of the sound of my own voice
And I'm weary of adding to the noise
And I'm fearful of missing the point of it all

I remember the way it used to be
The way this love felt like the first day of spring
And I want that back more than anything in the world

It's as cold as winter in my veins
But I long to feel the summer rain
Can you take me back to where it all began?

Jesus I come
Come to you again
Like it was the first time
I came to you for new life

I need you now
As much as I did then
I need a new beginning
So Jesus I am coming
For the first time again

I'm jaded from all that I have seen
I'm bitter, but I don't want to be
I'm believing, can you help my unbelief?

Sometimes I think I know too much
But even then it's not enough
Can you take me back so I can move ahead?

Jesus I come
Come to you again
Like it was the first time
I came to you for new life

I need you now
As much as I did then
I need a new beginning
So Jesus I am coming
For the first time again
For the first time again

Take me deep inside the grace that forgets
Instead of down the well worn path of my regrets
I'm older than I've ever been
Can you take me back and make me new again?

'Cause I need you now, as much as I did then

Jesus I come
Come to you again
Like it was the first time
I came to you for new life

I need you now
As much as I did then
I need a new beginning
So Jesus I am coming
For the first time again
For the first time again
For the first time
