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. . .
