[Verse 1] I woke up with a list of things I thought I had to do, Dreams to build and doors to open, Plans I had to push on through. I was asking You to bless the road Before I asked which way to go, Then in the quiet You reminded me, “My child, there’s something you should know.” [Pre-Chorus] Before the work, before the worry, Before tomorrow calls my name, There is a place where I remember Why I’m here and why I came. [Chorus] I will seek You first, Before I seek the answer. I will seek Your face, Before I chase the dream. You are not a part of my life, You are the reason for everything. When You are first, My heart finds peace. When You are first, I have all I need. I seek You first— And everything changes in me. [Verse 2] I have measured life by milestones, By what I gained and what I knew, I’ve carried things You never asked me To prove that I could make it through. But every mountain I was climbing, Every treasure I pursued, Could never fill the place within me That was always made for You. [Pre-Chorus] So before success can speak my name, Before applause becomes my song, Bring me back into Your presence, Where I remember I belong. [Chorus] I will seek You first, Before I seek the answer. I will seek Your face, Before I chase the dream. You are not a part of my life, You are the reason for everything. When You are first, My heart finds peace. When You are first, I have all I need. I seek You first— And everything changes in me. [Verse 3] There were nights I tried to hold it, Things I never could control, Questions waiting without answers, Heavy places in my soul. Still Your mercy met me gently, Saying, “You don’t have to know. Trust the One who sees the ending, Put Me first and let it go.” [Pre-Chorus] So when fear comes for tomorrow, And my faith feels small again, I will turn my eyes toward Heaven And remember where I stand. [Chorus] I will seek You first, Before I seek the answer. I will seek Your face, Before I chase the dream. You are not a part of my life, You are the reason for everything. When You are first, My heart finds peace. When You are first, I have all I need. I seek You first— And everything changes in me. [Verse 4] Now I’m learning this is worship— Not a moment, but a way, How I rise and how I listen, How I walk throughout my day. Let my business, let my family, Every gift You placed in me, Be an altar for Your glory, Not a monument to me. I don’t want You on the edges, I don’t want You second place. Be the center of my choices, Be the rhythm of my days. If You give, I’ll give You glory. If You close a door, I’ll stay. You are still enough forever— You were always why I came. [Bridge] First in the morning, First in my plans, First in my giving, First in my hands. First in my calling, First in my home, First when I’m surrounded, First when I’m alone. First in the blessing, First in the wait, First when doors open, First when they stay closed in my face. Not just when I need You, Not just when I pray— I seek You first, And everything changes in me. [Chorus] I will seek You first, Before I seek the answer. I will seek Your face, Before I chase the dream. You are not a part of my life, You are the reason for everything. When You are first, My heart finds peace. When You are first, I have all I need. I seek You first— And everything changes in me. [Outro] First in my heart, First in my life, First in my worship, Morning, noon, and night. I seek You first— And everything changes in me.
