“There was once in our lifetime,
A time of joy, a precious dance sublime.
Now that time is in our past
And I long for precious memories of that.
Take me there to that time
When I was yours, your heart was mine.
Take me back to that day when I was yours that way.
See if we can bring back moments of splendor.
See if we can bring back hearts full beyond measure.
There was once a holiday
Where the best thing we could do was meet our gaze.
Now that time is in the past.
And I long for sweetest memories of that.
See if we can bring back moments of pleasure
See if we can bring back hearts full beyond measure.
Take me there to that time
When I was yours, your heart was mine
Take me back to that day when I was yours that way.
I was yours that way.”❤
I am singing this song tomorrow in church. I wrote it pining a lost love and revisited it after reading Revelation 2 (Rev. 2:1. “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands. 2. I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. 3. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. 4. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. 5. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.”) where Jesus tells us He longs to be our (the church’s/saved ones) first love again. And this song gained immense power to me for it is the song of Jesus’ heart toward we whom He loves so very much and longs to draw us back to Himself. That relationship is far deeper, more meaningful and eternal. It is always our choice. He is always willing and eager to love us. His arms are open, come on in.❤
