I can't stop listening to this song. The lyrics are so beautiful!

Petra - First Love

Words by Bob Hartman
Based on Revelation 2:9, 1 John 4:19, Song of Solomon 2:4

Sometimes I feel I'm pulled in so many wrong directions
Sometimes I feel the world seducing my affections
It's not that I don't know the way
It's just a heart that's prone to stray
But with my weaknesses admitted
You will keep all that I've committed
So I commit my heart to You
My First Love

First Love - First Love
My soul longs after You
First Love - First Love
I want my heart to stay so true
Because You first loved me
Jesus You will always be
You will always be
My First Love

It's taken me some time to try to comprehend
A love that doesn't change - a love without an end
A love that keeps forgiving
A love of sacrifice and giving
I delight myself in You
My First Love

If I ever lack endurance
I remember Your assurance
That Your only banner over me is love
If my heart begins to waiver
Woo me back, my loving Savior
Woo me back till I return to my First Love

Which PETRA album is this song from?

Doesn't Stryper also have a song called First Love?

The Petra song is from their "On Fire!" album. Yes, Stryper's done a song with the same title. So did Letter 7.

I posted a thread about that very issue over at CMR about a month ago. I was listening to Letter 7's song and it occurred to me how much this idea has been overdone in Christian music.

All the songs sound good, but originality starts to get lost when multiple groups are doing the same theme.
