Let God Have 1st Place
I am running this race
This race in my life (trying to save my life...)
I am running being too being in to much denial about all this tension
And did I mention, did I mention
The pains and strife
I have a lesson
I have a plan
Beginning with my Lord and Savior
Now I understand
I must talk with Him
and I must walk with Him
Always, Oh, always
Must let God have 1st place,
Oh, I, I must let God have 1st place
I will run but I can't hide
Gonna take God by my side
Run on and on run We'll be first place
He'll be first place
Oh, I, I must let God have 1st place
In my life. . .
As I'm running
I must be first cause I know
I am running I must be first cause I know
I've been so hurt
Lost in the dirt and I'm tired of being last
Now I'm come from behind and I got God by my side
Gonna run on, gonna win as I'm running away from sin
Now I understand
Given the Lord God good strides
Faithful was joyous even smiled
I am running being to much in been in to much of denial bout all this tension pain and stifle
In my life now I got lesson I got a plan
Did I mention now I understand
I must talk with Him walk with Him on the glorious streets of gold
Hold HIs hand, I'm holding God's hand
I must talk with Him
Must finish what He begins...
Waling with Him always now, wow
Continuing this running this race
Until I see His face now I know
And I understand I must tell Him
That I must let God have 1st place in my life
On this side I must let God be 1st place in my life, my life
On this side and onto eternity must let
God be 1st place in my life
I must talk with Him
and I must walk with Him
Always, Oh, always
Must let God have 1st place,
Oh, I, I must let God have 1st place
I will run but I can't hide
Gonna take God by my side
Run on and on run We'll be first place
He'll be first place
Oh, I, I must let God have 1st place
In my life. . .
