Seize the Moment – Day 1446

Today’s worship song focus :

First Things First

Revelation 2:4-5a (NASB95)     

 
 
 
But I have this against you,
that you have left your first love.
Therefore remember from where you have fallen,

and repent and do the deeds you did at first;”

 

The brotherly trio of Caleb, Jordan and Josh Ward make up the group “Consumed by Fire”. They grew up traveling with their father who was an evangelist, serving others through church planting and medical missions. After their father had a catastrophic stroke, the boys took a hiatus to care for him. Following his passing in the spring of 2022, they reemerged with a fresh passion and commitment to the calling of their ministry through song. Jordan said this song “spearheaded the creation of a new direction for us… We’re saying, ‘Lord, we want what You want.’”

 

First thing’s first I seek Your will Not my own
Surrender all my wants to you Keep the first thing first

 

We need to wake up and take the words of this song as a prayer for our own lives. By returning our hearts to our first love, Jesus, we are then moved to love others in the way that He loves us!

First Things First

 
All the things that I have held dearThe vanities that whispered in my earWhat would I do if they all disappeared
 
Riches and fame and all that they could buyI’ve come to find they never satisfyWhat would I gain if my soul’s the price
 
I don’t wanna love what the world lovesI don’t wanna chase what the world doesI only want youI only want you
 
First thing’s firstI seek Your willNot my ownSurrender all my wants to youKeep the first thing firstTo live Your truthWalk Your waysSet my eyesLord I fix my face on youAll my desires reversedTo keep the first thing first
 
I give it allMy life an offeringMy heart is yoursSo have Your way in meYour kingdom’s all I wanna seek
 
I don’t wanna love what the world lovesI don’t wanna chase what the world doesI only want youI only want you
 
First thing’s firstI seek Your willNot my ownSurrender all my wants to youKeep the first thing firstTo live Your truthWalk Your waysSet my eyesLord I fix my face on youAll my desires reversed
To keep the first thing first
 
To keep the first thing firstAll my desires reversedTo keep the first thing firstTo keep the first thing first
 
First thing’s firstI seek Your willNot my ownSurrender all my wants to youKeep the first thing firstTo live Your truthWalk Your waysSet my eyesLord I fix my face on youAll my desires reversedTo keep the first thing firstTo keep the first thing firstTo keep the first thing first
 
All my desires reversedTo keep the first thing first
