First Things First Lyrics

Now I done

Been around the block for about a quarter of a century

And I make it a mission to learn a lesson every day

By God's grace, I have been given an opportunity, and I pray that

Hmm Hmm

Well you'll see

Keep the first things first

Matthew 6:33

Seek God's kingdom first and live righteously

I gotta a couple of rules that I learned to live by

At the age of 25, I hope the wisdom resides

Rule number ten

Fans and Followers

Some think you are the man

Others start stalking ya

My mama always told me

Somebody always watching

The higher you climbing

The broader the audience

Rule number 9

True friends find time

Reach out when you idle

Keep the real ones in mind

Rule number 8

Keeps priorities straight

Cause If she ain't wife

Don't see her at night

Rule number 7

Rest ya body and soul

Give it all to Christ

Learn to take on his yoke

Don't get too high

Don't get too low

Just lay it on the Lord and let God control

Ya feel me

Uh-huh

I got this feeling

God put on my heart

So I gotta let it out

Rule number 6

Let's talk about the family

Pride doesn't exist when you dead so let it be

Love on them and check on em

Let 'em know that you are always there for 'em

Rule number 5

Spend money like you broke

Budget and Plan

That's called stewardship folks

Rule number 4

Dawg we almost through

Handle your biz

So it won't handle you

Rule number 3

Is how to be successful

Trust in Lord and let

His spirit directs you

Rule number 2

His grace is sufficient

No matter what ya do

That's the secret to contentment

And rule number one see we are finally done

God's good work was finished by the blood of the son

Stay true to yourself and deliver the word

Love God number 1

And that's first things first

Keep the first things first

Matthew 6:33

Seek God's kingdom first and live righteously

I gotta a couple of rules that I learned to live by

At the age of 25, I hope the wisdom resides

Matthew 6:33

"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God

And his righteousness and all these things will be added to you"
