My First Love



I want to be found
Sitting at Your feet
I want to be found
gazing at Your beauty
I want to feel
Your heart beat in mine
I want to be
Closer than before

It’s so easy to be pulled away
To let time pass me by
So many times
I get so busy with my life
Suddenly I turn around to find
I’ve wondered from your presence

I want to be found
Sitting at Your feet
I want to be found
gazing at Your beauty
I want to feel
Your heart beat in mine
I want to be
Closer than before

I’ve looked in so many places
For what you said will be
for the promises
you’ve given to me
But now, I lay them down
At your feet
I’m coming back
Coming back to my first love

I want to be found
Sitting at Your feet
I want to be found
gazing at Your beauty
I want to feel
Your heart beat in mine
I want to be
Closer than before
To hear you whisper
in my ear

I wait for you
I wait for you
Let time pass me by
I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait for you
I quiet my spirit
I wait for you
I wait for you
I’m listening now
I wait for you
I wait for you
to hear from your heart
I wait for you

It’s when I’m finally quiet
You speak softly in my ear
I have been what you longed for
I am what you miss

Come, spend time with me
Sitting at my feet
I want to
Gaze at your beauty
I want you to feel
My heart beat in yours
Drawl near to me
To come close
closer than before

I wait for you
                      I wait for you
Let time pass me by
I wait for you
                      I wait for you
Quiet my spirit
I wait for you
                      I wait for you
I’m listening now
I wait for you
                      I wait for you
to hear from your heart
I wait for you
                      Wait for you
I wait for you
                      Wait for you

we wait for you
                          We wait for you
Let time pass us by
We wait for you
                          We wait for you
Quiet our spirit
We wait for you
                          We wait for you
We’re listening now
We wait for you
                          We wait for you
To hear from your heart

We wait for you
                          Wait for you
We wait for you
                          Wait for you

There are two parts to the story behind the song. The first is this, I have always been fascinated with Mary who sat at the feet of Jesus and just soaked it all in. I've wondered, did she lose track of time? 
Did everything else fade away? 
And what does sitting at the feet of Jesus mean today? 

The other thing I found is, often times, when I am wait for God to fulfill His promises, I start getting antsy. And my heart and spirit starts to pace. 
It's like waiting for an inheritance, and forgetting to spend time with the person before he or she passes. Why? Because we are waiting for the money! 
Or like those movies where everything fades away except the couple dancing in the middle.  What we focus on is the love that we are dancing with. Do we fall in love with His promises or do we fall in love with the Promise Maker?
What I found is... when you stop pacing, bring your focus back to Jesus, and start waiting on Him, it's amazing the calm and peace that can come. 
Life can still be hard, and everything might be falling apart around you; but in that moment, when it's just you and Him (the King of Kings) dancing, nothing else matters. And for that moment you feel completely at rest.
