It's Only the First Time
by Keith Lancaster

Album: Lancaster Long Play

There's a secret sin that you live with
And it's tearing you apart
You've prayed and prayed but now you're ashamed
To ask God to cleanse your heart
But even though you've fallen again
When you kneel before Him

Chorus:
It's only the first time
He's forgotten the last time
Oh, the moment you pray His grace takes away
The stain of your sin (sin)
Just know that in God's eyes
(That) it's only the first time
He's already there to hear your prayer (there to hear your prayer)
And forgive you again (forgive you again)

When the Savior says we must forgive
Time and time again (time and time again)
Then how much more (how much more) can our Lord (can our Lord)
Forgive us when we sin
His love is so strong so wide and so deep (oh, it's so strong, it's so deep)
He longs for us to believe

Repeat Chorus

He's already there to hear your prayer (there to hear your prayer)
And forgive you again
