First Things [Em] First for us has a very [F] special place in our hearts because we were in a really
transition [Cm] period in our lives.
[G] Our dad had [C] a major stroke, so for three years of our
lives we [Em] really went dark in the season.
In that time [F] period we really contemplated, okay,
do we want to get back out?
[G] Do we want to do Consumed by Fire honestly ever again?
[C] And
we were doing a lot of writing in this season of our [Em] lives.
And First Things First really
was a reflection of the [Am] heart of returning to our first love.
And [F] I look back over this
song and I can honestly say [C] it was a godsend in our lives because it [Em] brought us back to
remember how a song can [Am] impact, how a song can minister, how a song can be used [F] to heal.
And it's not every day when you write and [C] you're part of the writing process of your
own music you can be [Em] ministered to by a song that you're part of.
And [Am] First Things First
will forever I think be one of those for us that [F] goes, wow, if not for this song.
You
can write a lot of [C] fun songs.
You can do a lot of things.
They can give you goose bumps.
This one literally
It wrecked us.
Wrecked us, kept us up at night.
[Em] It did.
We wouldn't
want the message of this song to be [F] confused for do's and don'ts as much as it is not losing
our first [G] love like you said.
And that whole seeking the kingdom first.
We could do a lot
of things, all of us in the world could do a lot of things with our life, but if [Em] it doesn't
have internal weight to it then what's it [Am] matter?
And that's really what we were saying.
In this song it's more of just like our first love is, [F] our first passion is the kingdom.
And the kingdom is righteousness, peace, [C] and joy in the Holy Spirit.
And so for us it was
just like, [Em]
if anything else, if I gain the whole world, if it's [Am] not, if I'm losing that
first love part of me, [F] what's it worth?
I hope First Things First can minister to you
in that same [C] way that it did for us.
And remind you.
[Em] The song I think can really be a reminder
in your walk with [Am] Jesus.
It can be a reminder in your daily devotion.
Of what's [F] important.
Yeah.
What matters.
