Jesus, My First Love
1 You are my love, my first love, Jesus,
Who can express Your worth in words?
My precious treasure, unique,
On earth and in heaven, there is no one besides You.
2 My beloved, who can I compare You to?
Only You are God, who can I confront You with?
You are the same, leading me close to You,
And You attract me much more than the world here.
I love You, Jesus,
No one surpasses Your worth!
Who else do I have in heaven?
There is no one who pleases me on earth.
3 Your gentle gaze illuminates the darkness,
And Your words are sweet to the heart;
Only Your love compels me to live
For You, Lord, who have won my being.
4 Only You, Lord, are my true pleasure,
Comforter, full of grace in my suffering;
Satisfaction and joy that is endless,
Springs of living water within me.
Come, my Beloved,
I long to see You face to face;
Do not delay, come quickly to Your own
And let us be eternally united.
