Story Behind The Song
I grew up in the church and had always felt a strong connection to God's Love through Christ. But in my late teens; I gradually begun to feel, somewhat lost from this Love. It was one day at the brink of about to commit suicide, that I pen this song with tears of Joy in my heart; for My Savior's Everlasting Love. Oh How he loves us!

Either through malpractice, misconduct, rejection or other form of running away from. In total it represents a reconsideration of the Love bond for that one or thing and a recapturing of the Good purpose to be back together again.

Lyrics
TO MY FIRST LOVE (Written by Pastor Cheryl Olivia Griffith) Lyrics: Copyright)
My heart was bent to sin, I ran away to win
Drowning in my shame, playing the losing game
Lord I'm turning back to you, with a heart full of pain
A weary backslider coming to my First Love again
I acted like a fool, was used like a tool
Doing Satan deeds, living as I pleased
Lord I'm coming back to you, with a heart full of pain
A sin-sick backslider turning to my First Love again
Rekindle the flame, let it burn once more
Give me a new name, from me, don't shut the door
Lord I'm running back to you
With a heart full of pain
A repenting backslider coming to my First Love again
Rekindle the flame, let it burn once more
Give me a new name, from me, don't shut the door
Lord I'm running back to you
With a heart full of pain
A repenting backslider coming to my First Love again
Lord I running, back to you
With a heart full of pain
A repenting backslider turning to my First Love again.
A repenting backslider coming to my First Love again.
A repenting backslider coming to my First Love again.
