Let God Have First Place
Let God Have First Place
by James Edward Lee Sr.
verse 1
I am running this race;
This race in my life;
I am running being, too be in denial bout' all this tension;
Oh! and did I mention...
All the pains and strife's;
All the hurts in this life, Life...
chorus
I have a lesson, I have a plan;
Beginning with my Lord and Savoir now I understand;
I am running this race;
This race in my life;
I must talk with Him;
I must walk with Him, always, always
Must let God have first place in my life and this race;
I must run this life along side Jesus Christ;
Must let God have first place in my life and this race;
verse 2
As I'm running
I must be first cause I know I'm still running for my life;
And if I stop, and if I fall, even if I walk;
God shall pick me up, He shall hold me now..
Carry me to the finish line;
chorus
I have a lesson, I have a plan;
Beginning with my Lord and Savoir now I understand;
I am running this race;
This race in my life;
I must talk with Him;
I must walk with Him, always, always
Must let God have first place in my life and this race;
I must run this life along side Jesus Christ;
Must let God have first place in my life and this race;
verse 3
I was walking them miles
Given the Lord good strides;
Faithful, was joyous even smiled;
I am running being, too , being in denial bout' all this tension pains and strife
chorus
I have a lesson, I have a plan;
Beginning with my Lord and Savoir now I understand;
I am running this race;
This race in my life;
I must talk with Him;
I must walk with Him, always, always
Must let God have first place in my life and this race;
I must run this life along side Jesus Christ;
Must let God have first place in my life and this race;
verse 4
Got a lesson, gained a plan
Did I mention now I understand;
Must finish what He begins;
Go to what I began;
Continue to run this; race until I see His face now I know;
And I understand I must tell Him;
That I must let God have first place in my life;
On this side I must let God be first place in my life;
