You were first
before the pain
and the straying away
you called my name
you drew me to you
before I could even understand
You were first
before I knew love
I sought after affection
that destroyed my soul
and broke my heart
You were first
before the mistakes
the lies and betrayal
you lit my path
but I was to blind to see
You were first
to wipe my tears
and remove all shame
even after every time
I walked away
You were first
to speak life and wisdom
but I was too deaf to hear
I now see and hear truth
I now know love because
You were first
