First

I am not sure that I had heard this song before this morning, or maybe the words just struck a chord with me today.  The song is entitled "First" by Lauren Daigle.  

I listened to the lyrics and as soon as I got to work, I Goggled the lyrics because of a phrase in the song.  This particular phrase was a phrase that Pastor Alan Pedrum spoke at Day 10 of 21 Days of Prayer (at Church of the Highlands). That phrase was "Before I bring my need, I will bring my heart."  

His message was to inspire/encourage us to get close to God so that He would get close to us.  If we seek a closeness with Him, our physical needs seem to become trivial.  And those that aren't trivial, we become aware that "He's got this!".

Here are the lyrics (**)

"First"

Before I bring my need
I will bring my heart
Before I lift my cares
I will lift my arms
I wanna know You
I wanna find You
In every season
In every moment
Before I bring my need
I will bring my heart
And seek You

First
I wanna seek You
I wanna seek You
First
I wanna keep You
I wanna keep You
First
More than anything I want, I want You
First

Before I speak a word
Let me hear Your voice
And in the midst of pain
Let me feel Your joy
Ooh, I wanna know You
I wanna find You
In every season
In every moment
Before I speak a word
I will bring my heart
And seek You

First
I wanna seek You
I wanna seek You
First
I wanna keep You
I wanna keep You
First
More than anything I want, I want You
First

You are my treasure and my reward
Let nothing ever come before
You are my treasure and my reward
Let nothing ever come before
I seek You

First

First
I wanna seek You
I wanna seek You
First
I wanna keep You
I wanna keep You
First
More than anything I want, I want You
First
First
