First in My Heart

Verse 1
I’ve been running this race, chasing dreams in the wind,
Building my house, but it’s empty within.
I’ve sown the seeds, but the harvest is lean,
I’m reaching for more, but what does it mean?

Pre-Chorus
Oh, there’s a voice calling out my name,
A whisper in the silence, breaking through the shame.

Chorus
Put You first in my heart, first in my soul,
You’re the answer I’ve been searching for to make me whole.
When the world leaves me dry, and I’m torn apart,
I’ll rebuild my life with You first in my heart.

Verse 2
A prophet came, spoke the truth I denied,
I’d been working so hard, but I left You aside.
You gave the breath, the strength I depend,
But I forgot the One who loves without end.

Pre-Chorus
Oh, now I hear You, calling me to see,
The love I’ve been missing, calling me to be free.

Chorus
Put You first in my heart, first in my soul,
You’re the answer I’ve been searching for to make me whole.
When the world leaves me dry, and I’m torn apart,
I’ll rebuild my life with You first in my heart.

Bridge
Even when I’ve turned away, You held me close,
In the desert of my choices, You watered hope.
Through the cracks in my foundation, Your light broke through,
And now I know my joy begins with You.

Chorus
Put You first in my heart, first in my soul,
You’re the answer I’ve been searching for to make me whole.
When the world leaves me dry, and I’m torn apart,
I’ll rebuild my life with You first in my heart.

Outro
First in my heart, oh, I’ll put You there,
Through the struggles and the storms, You’re always near.
First in my heart, my life restarts,
With every step, I’ll keep You first in my heart.
