First Things First Lyrics

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want

No weapon formed against me shall prosper; He's in the front

Yes, my God surely always goes before me

As long as I'm singing Glory to His Name!

First things first: I cannot be remembered as

The one who didn't do what he was called to do

It Must be that you are stoned if

You think I'm gonna let the rocks sing my song

Take my job, let 'em rob me over fear that I shoulder

I'm a bolder

Version of myself than even I remember

God on my side, slaying giants with just a little pebble

You didn't catch that? Turn up the treble; get some clarity

I'm not a rebel, just a man with a song

Sing along, and soon those demons that are knocking on your door

Are gonna understand exactly just what all this singing's for!

Consider these moments like Saul, distressed at every angle

Nervous twitches, appalled, and utterly filled with anger

Rah

Cause nothing could settle his soul

But then something got a hold of him so he could slumber

David played the lyre and he was lumber

Sleeping like a log and going under

To nothing but the sound of his voice

And those strings that he strummed

While he hummed by the fire by himself

He didn't have a choir

So if one man can make the evil dissipate

And hate abate for those eight hours

Just imagine how much longer

We can keep him on the run by joining ours

Now sing

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want

No weapon formed against me shall prosper; He's in the front

Yes, my God surely always goes before me

As long as I'm singing Glory to His Name!

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want

No weapon formed against me shall prosper; He's in the front

The LORD is my shepherd

I shall not want

There's a time and place for everything underneath the sun, son

Sometimes you stand. Sometimes you run

Run!

But how we fight to save our lives will always come back and bite us

And serve us right if we forget that we don't fear the night

Cause He can make the sun stand still

And will the day to stay in place

I think you might wanna change up your approach

Don't be complacent

You're the athlete; I'm the coach

Don't be impatient

You do it your way, you'll be toast

And this ain't Texas, so forget the thick you're in

And follow what I'm saying

Every letter, every word is praying

Hear me, Lord keep me now from disobeying

While You're right there!

I said it would happen, but that's not the way I said it would

I can't stay inactive God

What about Gideon?

That was an act of God

Right! And I am an active God

Recall the thirty thousand men I whittled back to ten

And then again cut down to only those into whose hands I promised Midian

Just the three hundred

Sitting by camp a little concerned

You could say they lacked some courage

You'd probably be a little bit scared, too

Even at your age

Ha ha ha ha

But! The message was clear

God would carry them through since He purposely brought them there

So instead of getting down about the men who went home

And doin' nothin' but counting their lumps

They ran up on the hill and blew their trumpets

Now sing

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want

No weapon formed against me shall prosper; He's in the front

Yes, my God surely always goes before me

As long as I'm singing Glory to His Name!

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want

No weapon formed against me shall prosper; He's in the front

The LORD is my shepherd

I shall not want
