When, Lord, I see someone
who hungers & thirsts . . .
Let me reach out to them
not last, but first ~

Let me lend a hand
not go on my way . . .
let me be first, Lord
for their needs to pray ~

Let me be last, Lord
to judge with disdain . . .
ignoring their struggle
heartache and pain ~

Offering compassion
when their bubble bursts . . .
with tender encouragement
Lord, let me be first ~

Let me show them
YOU, Lord, with sincerity . . .
But for your Grace
this could be me ~

Me without Mercy
still lost in gross sin . . .
walking in darkness
with no hope to win ~

But for Your Love,
Lord, enduring The Cross . . .
we'd have no Saviour
this world would be lost ~

To thank You & praise You
with the best and the worst . . .
point others to Jesus
OH, LET ME BE FIRST !
