154 (613) Why should I lose my first love, When He's been so gracious unto me? He's disposed to forgive all the sins in my life, They just melt at the whisper of His word. O the nature of that smile On His forgiving face, So warm unto me When I needed so much grace. Why should I lose my first love, When I've seen Him so full of grace and truth? Why run away from that blessed ground Where I first met a love so warm and deep? I love Him more now after I've sinned For I've found out what He is really like. He's a God of such love, He'll forgive and forget, So I can put my full trust in Him now.
