First Things First

Sometimes someone else says something in a way that just can’t be replicated any better than what they have already said. When this happens, I choose simply to share my heart through their words, but always want to give credit where credit is due. This is one of those songs…

Song by Consumed by Fire

All the things that I have held dear

The vanities that whispered in my ear

What would I do if they all disappeared

Riches and fame and all that they could buy

I've come to find they never satisfy

What would I gain if my soul's the price

I don't wanna love what the world loves

I don't wanna chase what the world does

I only want you

I only want you

First thing's first

I seek Your will

Not my own

Surrender all my wants to you

Keep the first thing first

To live Your truth

Walk Your ways

Set my eyes

Lord I fix my face on you

All my desires reversed

To keep the first thing first

I give it all

My life an offering

My heart is yours

So have Your way in me

Your kingdom's all I wanna seek

I don't wanna love what the world loves

I don't wanna chase what the world does

I only want you

I only want you

First thing's first

I seek Your will

Not my own

Surrender all my wants to you

Keep the first thing first

To live Your truth

Walk Your ways

Set my eyes

Lord I fix my face on you

All my desires reversed

To keep the first thing first
