I don't care for these rock and metal bands who claim that they r Christian but their lyrics r so ambiguous u don't know who they serve. Thank the lord for Petra, who just come out and say it. Jesus is our first love, lord, and savior!
All the discussions of group members of Petra, In my opinion, I love them all, I think everyone who has performed in the group Petra over the years has contributed MUCH to the movement that was put in place when the group was formed, no matter who, the mission was clear through all the band members and delivered with excellence of execution! I so love this song!
I love the idea of the children and teacher praying together in school. We so need God back in our schools. He is still there with those who love Him, but the school systems have kicked Him out and they wonder why we have so much trouble in schools now.
One of my favorite songs from one my favorite bands. From all music genres. Too bad they never got the recognition they deserved. I don't know that they sought that for themselves but for myself I wanted to hear more of their songs on radio. All Christian groups and singers now travel the road paved by PETRA.
This song is a great reminder to those of us that have been christians along time. Refreshes my feelings that I have let the world break off. Thank you.
i love this music soo much! if seen petra in 1993,still know it like it was yesterday. its beautifull,it makes you feel the love of jezus in everybody,sela!
BEAUTIFUL SONG...A LOVE THAT KEEPS FORGIVING! Who can say this about their earthly "First Love"? I pray for all my past relationships that the Spark of Jesus' Love and Redemptive Power would forever touch, and seal them...that all of our best intentions would forever be covered with the generosity and compassion that only God can provide.
Patra was one of te first music groups that i listen wen i become christian in Mexico, y like the intro in the live concert that said " Ok guys, this is it" and i dont remenber the other part. Great memories.
esta cancion me ha recordado quien es primero en mi vida, de verdad despues de tantos años quisiera decirle esas palabras a mi señor,, jesus is my lord..
I love this song. What a great voice and a great group. They were way before their time in contemperary christian music. been strugling with some thing lately and I found this song after so many years of dirst listening to it. I love you Lord forgive me for being so easily distracted.
Its been almost 20 years since I listened to Petra and this song has meant so much to me these past few days! Now I get the honor to share Petra with my three young boys. Praise God for the work He did through Petra!!!!
I never got the chance to see Petra. My wife saw them twice, once with Greg X. Volz and once with John W. Schlitt, singing this song. My wife intro'd me to their music and I love her for that. God works in way we can't comprehend and I'm so thankful for Petra for how they convey the Lords love to us all. By the way, I'm going to see II Guys from Petra (John and Bob) this Saturday in Oceanside, Ca. It's not the group Petra but it may as well be, right!! Bless all...
I like slowrock genre and ballads like "Love is on the Way" (Saigon Kick) and thank you Petra for letting me hear a Christian song counterpart of such.
Really cool to be in love, but even better being confident in Gods love for each and everyone of us. I have been singing along with this one for years. PTL
Ahora se oye mejor que nunca,🥳 Gracias por amenizar mi caminar con sus temas y alentar mi Alma con sus letras.. No tuve la oportunidad de asistir a sus conciertos, pero Dios me permitió escuchar su hermosa música, y nos veremos en el cielo.🙏🙏
Jennifer, I love you with all my heart and my soul. I will not turn away, not even now. I forgive you from the bottom of my heart. I can love no other woman.
"All we like sheep have gone astray..." Sometimes we all get alittle prodigal, but God still has a way of wooing us back to him. But don't stray too long, or you'll get left behind! Get yourself rooted and grounded in the Word. You then won't be so soon shaken, or troubled in mind.
Yeah :) Nice to see Petra here on youtube :) I have 3-4 albums of Petra :) When I was younger and was 14-16 years old I was on This Means War concert with Petra here around my hometown Aaleund :) I still listening to my Petra albums once in a while :) Did you know Greg X Volz was the previous Petra vocalist?
Sometimes I feel I'm pulled in so many wrong directions Sometimes I feel the world seducing my affections It's not that I don't know the way, it's just a heart that's prone to stray But with my weaknesses admitted, You will keep all that I've committed So I commit my heart to You my first love First love, first love, my soul longs after You First love, my first love and I want my heart to stay so true Because You first loved me, Jesus You will always be You will always be my first love It's taken me some time to try to comprehend A love that doesn't change, a love without an end A love that keeps forgiving, a love of sacrifice and giving I delight myself in You my first love First love, first love, my soul longs after You First love, my first love, I want my heart to stay so true Because You first loved me, Jesus You will always be You will always be my first love If I ever lack endurance, I remember Your assurance That Your only banner over me is love If my heart begins to waiver, woo me back, my loving Savior Woo me back till I return to my first love First love, first love, my soul longs after You First love, my first love and I want my heart to stay so true Because You first loved me, Jesus You will always be You will always be my first love You will always be my first love Read more: Petra - First Love Lyrics | MetroLyrics
dutchmcgee101 No...you're right Petra IS EXCELLENT...Wonderful, Sublime!! 'emergent church' bit is to alert Christians of the dangers of emergent church... sorry, should have made Two 2 separate comments...!
I don´t think Christian music is for one or tow persons, we must to share the truth. If I didn't listen Christian bands probably I didn't came back to my faith. I'm a Catholic but I'm a true believer in Jesus Christ. I thank that people on Stryper, Guardian or Petra bands because tehy make me read the bible to understand that God is the only answer I need to love my life. God Bless Christian music and i hope more youth people make real music with a True message!!!
I can't understand how U.S.A. as a free country, prayer is taken out of our schools and that teachers can't pray with their students, but yet in China a communist country is where we find Christian professors evangelizing and saving souls. We wonder why U.S.A. is struggling so much. Have we considered all that is happening we are to blame ourselves mostly?
@Sparkiview2000 Amen to that! I was imagining myself the other turning up at work with a great big cross around my neck like John Schlitt wears. Imagine the uproar that would cause. Jesus is not gone, he's not "so 80's", he's alive, he survived longer than Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Now we have the Internet, and we need to use it to "Put ON All HIS ARmour AND FIghT the GooD FIGHT!". God is all powerful, but He wants us to show the world His strength through us, so come on let's get fired up!
@ehrldawg I didn't know that! I guess you learn something new everyday. I grew up listening to r.e.o. speedwagon and later Petra but I can tell you as some who loves both bands Petra rocks they are Awesome!
I don't care for these rock and metal bands who claim that they r Christian but their lyrics r so ambiguous u don't know who they serve. Thank the lord for Petra, who just come out and say it. Jesus is our first love, lord, and savior!
I hope this is the prayer of every Christian. A lost and dying world needs the Light that Jesus burns through us.
To revisit all these petra songs after so long now as a parent means so so much thank you, Jesus Loves You Amen.
All the discussions of group members of Petra, In my opinion, I love them all, I think everyone who has performed in the group Petra over the years has contributed MUCH to the movement that was put in place when the group was formed, no matter who, the mission was clear through all the band members and delivered with excellence of execution!

Great song!!!Brings me back to who really love me. A love that is uncondition. That's Jesus Christ.
One of my favorite songs from one my favorite bands. From all music genres. Too bad they never got the recognition they deserved. I don't know that they sought that for themselves but for myself I wanted to hear more of their songs on radio. All Christian groups and singers now travel the road paved by PETRA.
Been a Petra fan since 1984. This one really struck home, even to this day in 2011.
What an awesome legacy Petra left us! The best Christian Rock band ever! God bless you!
Verdade muito abençoado mesmo!
Petra really had God-inspired lyrics and that is why it was such a powerful force.
This song is a great reminder to those of us that have been christians along time. Refreshes my feelings that I have let the world break off. Thank you.
please pray for someone I know named John who loves this song but who I know is not yet saved. Pray that God would open his eyes.
I love Petra they are soo awesome i grew up listening to them and still love them today :)
i love this music soo much!
if seen petra in 1993,still know it like it was yesterday.
its beautifull,it makes you feel the love of jezus in everybody,sela!
BEAUTIFUL SONG...A LOVE THAT KEEPS FORGIVING!

my favorite song out of all the Petra collection...makes me sigh....

One of my favorite Petra songs--my kids are starting to learn their stuff--such a great example to them--Love it!!
They are the greatest. Big into old skool and new Petra, well when they were still around.
Really cool to be in love, but even better being confident in Gods love for each and everyone of us.
I have been singing along with this one for years. PTL
This is a great band. First time I heard of them. He has a gorgeous voice.
I still know this song word for word after all these years.
Best line up of Petra ever.
I love Petra...This song is one of my favorites. It simply reminds me of God´s awesome love!

Sometimes I feel I'm pulled in so many wrong directions
Sometimes I feel the world seducing my affections
It's not that I don't know the way, it's just a heart that's prone to stray
But with my weaknesses admitted, You will keep all that I've committed
So I commit my heart to You my first love
First love, first love, my soul longs after You
First love, my first love and I want my heart to stay so true
Because You first loved me, Jesus You will always be
You will always be my first love
It's taken me some time to try to comprehend
A love that doesn't change, a love without an end
A love that keeps forgiving, a love of sacrifice and giving
I delight myself in You my first love
First love, first love, my soul longs after You
First love, my first love, I want my heart to stay so true
Because You first loved me, Jesus You will always be
You will always be my first love
If I ever lack endurance, I remember Your assurance
That Your only banner over me is love
If my heart begins to waiver, woo me back, my loving Savior
Woo me back till I return to my first love
First love, first love, my soul longs after You
First love, my first love and I want my heart to stay so true
Because You first loved me, Jesus You will always be
You will always be my first love
You will always be my first love

que musica legal.
nostalgic
return unto me and I will return unto you
Esse grupo é um ministério de louvor,só canta hinos com bade bíblica.
@Sparkiview2000 Amen to that! I was imagining myself the other turning up at work with a great big cross around my neck like John Schlitt wears. Imagine the uproar that would cause.
