He First Loved Me

Oh Jesus, I can love You, Lord, because You “first loved me” (1 John)
Before earth’s birth You dreamed me up; what wondrous mystery! (Ephesians 1:4)
Lord Jesus, I desire You, but I know that it’s true
That You desire me MUCH more than I desire You!

I thirst for You, but I’m aware You thirst for just “one look” (Song of Songs)
You pine for me much like a deer that seeks the bubbling brook (Psalm 42)
Christ Jesus, my own heart I give to You, as my reply
To You Who first gave Yours to me when You, for me, did die
