Lyrics

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
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

To keep the first thing first
All my desires reversed
To keep the first thing first
To keep the first thing first

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
To keep the first thing first
To keep the first thing first

All my desires reversed
To keep the first thing first

About This Song

"First things first is a very special song to us. We were in a very transitional stage of our lives. Our Dad had a major stroke. During this dark time, we contemplated, do we want to get back out and want to do 'Consumed By Fire' every again? We were doing a lot of writing at this time. And 'First Things First' was a reflection of our hearts returning to our first love. We wouldn't want the message of this song to be confused for do's or don't as much as it's about not losing our first love. And the seeking the kingdom first."
