Lyrics

By the grace of the Lord I was raised up

To seek God first, and for what it's worth

I never lacked anytime I have done it

My cup overflows and I rose to the summit

Many times over I gave what I had

And God saw that and he gave it all back

This is how it works in the Kingdom of God

The world won't get it, they believe that it's odd

They will try to horde it and keep it for themselves

Ask Ananaias, it will never end well

The church in America has strayed from the path

I wonder how long do they think it can last

The Lord's coming back to receive His bride

I'm scared he will say you I don't recognize

And that's the reason why I am writing to her now

We've gotta get her back so that God'll be proud

Look God, for whatever it's worth

In every single thing I will seek You first

I don't really know if the rest will come

But if they won't do it I will be the one

Look God, for whatever it's worth

In every single thing I will seek You first

I don't really know if the rest will come

But if they won't do it I will be the one

Everywhere I look there is greed

And meanwhile I see many people still need

Father God, it really seems like we're losing our way

So I drop to my knees 'cause it's time to pray

'Cause the soul of our nation is rotting away

So perhaps that is why you gave me words to say

The job you have given me I must complete

There are many more demons that I must defeat

Man some are in the White House, some are in the church

At times it just feels like our country is cursed

If only we could deal with original sin

And overcome it, maybe we'd be right within

And that is what it means to seek you first

But then we don't do it and it all gets worse

And do they even care and should I even care

I keep fighting back, but it doesn't seem fair

Look God, for whatever it's worth

In every single thing I will seek You first

I don't really know if the rest will come

But if they won't do it I will be the one

Look God, for whatever it's worth

In every single thing I will seek You first

I don't really know if the rest will come

But if they won't do it I will be the one

We are faced with a choice in the middle of this

To take the church back from colonialists

Those people who exploit for political gain

That form of Christianity that isn't the same

I go on TikTok to distribute the truth

Then I add a little more when I get in the booth

Father God, can you see what they're doing to you

They dishonor everything that your Son went through

Then I see the news and I'm angry again

I just want all this nonsense to come to end

People write a post in support of the Don

And I still wanna know why they're getting it wrong

Many of 'em go to the church and I know

That the places they are at they are not gonna grow

And so I've gotta seek you with all that I am

And trust that this journey is just part of the plan

Look God, for whatever it's worth

In every single thing I will seek You first

I don't really know if the rest will come

But if they won't do it I will be the one

Look God, for whatever it's worth

In every single thing I will seek You first

I don't really know if the rest will come

But if they won't do it I will be the one
