BarlowGirl cover
04. Harder Than The First Time
Album: BarlowGirl
Artist: BarlowGirl
         
 

I walked with you
Just like we’ve done for so long
You seem so near
But even that’s become so common
It’s not just You, just been together so long
That I thought I knew everything about You
But today I saw
Did You open up my eyes?
‘Cause I feel like I’ve just seen You for the first time

I didn’t see You
But God I want to
You’ve come alive
And I think I’ve fallen harder than the first time

Was I so blind?
How did I not see You?
Yet in all that time You never left my side
So for all my life I will live to know You
So here I am, I’ll take Your hand

I see Your face
I feel You close
The love You’ve always shown me
Won’t miss it now can’t waste a day
Jesus I’m Yours completely

Behind the Song:
'During the breaks at a big Christian conference we were attending, we would run back to our hotel, get the guitar and go out to the pool, where we’d work on this song every day. We really felt like God put it on our hearts to write about how so often we take Him for granted. With God, we should always want more, to desire for a deeper and growing relationship. So, this song is about our love relationship with God, and how we’ve fallen in love harder than we did the first time.' - Lauren Barlow (BarlowGirl)
