JESUS, YOU ALONE shall be
My first love, my first love.
The secret place and highest praise
Shall be Yours, shall be Yours.
To Your throne I’ll bring devotion,
May it be the sweetest sound:
Lord, this heart is reaching for You now.
So I’ll set my sights upon You,
Set my life upon Your praise;
Never looking to another way.
(Second time)
You alone will be my passion,
Jesus, You will be my song:
You will find me longing after You.
Day and night I lift my eyes
To seek You, to seek You,
Hungry for a glimpse of You
In glory, in glory.
