Christian music group Leeland released a song titled “First Love Fire” with a message that many believers can relate to. The song describes a longing to recapture the initial intensity of their faith, that spark of pure devotion they felt when they first connected with God.
The lyrics paint a picture of a time when singing God’s praises and expressing gratitude were natural and joyful acts. The singer remembers a period where their relationship with God was their top priority. However, the song acknowledges a shift – a dimming of that initial fire.
The chorus becomes a plea to God. The singer begs for a renewal, a reigniting of that passionate connection. They yearn to go back to that place of single-minded devotion and rekindle the fire of their first love for God. The repetitive plea “Jesus, light the first love fire in me again” summarizes the core message of the song.

First Love Fire Lyrics by Leeland
[Verse 1]
I remember when all I knew
To do was sing Your name
I remember when all I longed
To do was give You praise
Jesus, light the first love fire in me, again
[Chorus]
I wanna fall in, I wanna fall in
I wanna fall in love with You again
Back to the start where
It was all about one thing
I wanna fall in love with You again
[Verse 2]
And I remember when
I couldn’t wait to tell someone
I was lost within the joy
And gratitude for all that You’ve done
Jesus, light the first love fire in me, again
[Chorus]
I wanna fall in, I wanna fall in
I wanna fall in love with You again
Back to the start where
It was all about one thing
I wanna fall in love with You again
With You again
[Interlude]
Bring me back to
My first love again, Jesus
[Bridge]
Jesus, light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire
Jesus, light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire
Jesus, light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire
Jesus, light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire
[Chorus]
I wanna fall in, I wanna fall in
I wanna fall in love with You again
Back to the start where
It was all about one thing
I wanna fall in love with You again
With You again
Back to the start where
It was all about one thing
I wanna fall in love with You again
Back to the start where
It was all about one thing
I wanna fall in love with You again
With You again
[Bridge]
Jesus, light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire
Jesus, light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire
Jesus, light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire
Jesus, light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire
Jesus, light the first love fire
Come and be my one desire again
[Chorus]
I wanna fall in, I wanna fall in
I wanna fall in love with You again
Back to the start where
It was all about one thing
I wanna fall in love with You again
[Outro]
Back to the start where
It was all about one thing
I wanna fall in love with You again
