I?m going back to my first love, I?m going back to my first joy

I?m going back where I first believed, going back to my priority

?Cause I strayed away many a day, said that I would not

Done the things that I should not have done

I?ve done wrong, but now I wanna come home

I?m so sorry, forgive me Lord, I know where I belong

Crying, Oh Lord, won?t you restore all of my joy

?Cause I just wanna love you more

And each day I pray that you would lead my way

Grant me your mercy and grace, falling on my knees today

I just wanna find my way back to you

I?m going back, wanna go back to my first love

Back to my first love

Don?t kill the fatted calf; you ain?t got to roast no lamb

Don?t need a fancy ring or material things

You can bar-b-que wings in the backyard, it?s alright with me

It really doesn?t matter Lord, just as long as I?m right where you are

I?ve been gone a little to long, now I wanna come home

Oh, what a lesson I?ve learned

It was I who walked away; Father I sho? regret that day

It?s time for me to return

I?ve had many dreams about the day when I?d be comin? home

Just wanna see your face; what a restoration

Don?t need no group party just to help me get my praise on

Appreciate the celebration

?Cause now I?m back with my first love, back with my first joy

Back to the old landmark, back with a brand new start

I?m back with my first love, Got my head on straight;

Back with my first joy, I?ve been restored to where I first believed

Back to my priority, Back
