Keep Him first

Have you noticed how many who are considered to be ‘celebrities’ these days, are more concerned about their own self-image, and about owning ‘the best’ of everything that money can buy them.

I have found myself getting quite frustrated and if I’m honest, a little annoyed by many of these celebrities, as their reality seems to be becoming further and further away from the reality of life for the rest of us.

There are so many people living in poverty, trying desperately to make ends meet; having to decide whether to heat their home, or eat as they can’t afford both. How can we be living in a world in these days, where the gulf between the rich and the poor seems to be increasing rather than decreasing.

I’m not really having a go at those so-called ‘celebrities’ as many as simply leading their life in the way they were brought up, so have never known anything different. That’s why for me we need to get back to basics, and make sure we keep God front and centre in our lives.

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
