I need to get the fire back

I'VE FILLED MY TIME with preparations
Worn the cloak of endless serving
Though this is a part of loving
Something can grow cold
I've wandered through
This life's distractions
Clouding out my soul's attraction
When I take the time to listen
I can hear You call

I need to get the fire back
Lord like the first time
I need to get the fire back
You are my first love
The embers still remain
But Lord I miss the flame
I need to get the fire back

Looking now upon the reason
I am living I am breathing
Holy Father You are showing
All I need to know
I must take the time to listen
Not to know You from a distance
But to find in all Your nearness
You and You alone
