[Verse 1]
I remember when I was young
And Your voice, shouting loud my name
And since that moment
I haven't heard it quite that way
Well, now that I'm older
Could You say it again?
[Verse 2]
I remember I was afraid
And, oh, the hand I felt lead the way
And for the first time in my life, I felt safe
Well, God, now that I'm older
Would You lead me again?
[Chorus]
Oh, when the storm's out on the ocean
And the violent wind gets to blowing
Oh, take me back, back
All the way back
Oh, take me back to my first love
[Verse 3]
I remember when I was blind
And then Your love opened up my eyes
And oh, the light that flooded my life
Well, now that I'm older
Could You show me again?
Oh, would You show me again?
[Chorus]
'Cause when the storm's out on the ocean
And the violent wind gets to blowing
Oh, take me back, back
All the way back
Oh, take me back to my first love
[Bridge]
'Cause You are real to me
I have known it from the start
And there’s no space between
The heavens and my heart
You are near to me
I’ve never been too far
And in the in-between
You brought heaven to my heart
[Chorus]
'Cause when the storm's out on the ocean
And the violent wind gets to blowing
Oh, take me back, back
All the way back
Oh, take me back to my first love
[Bridge]
'Cause You are real to me
I have known it from the start
And there’s no space between
The heavens and my heart
You are near to me
I’ve never been too far
And in the in-between
You brought heaven to my heart
