Story Behind The Song
Trying to drive home the point that even though I may be singing new songs about my "faith", I still have many faults and issues of my own, and still have a long way to go in my walk. Being a "Christian" doesn't make me perfect, but I'm forgiven.

Lyrics
First things first, thank you for listening
Even as I search for the right words
It's taken so long to make sense of this passion
That I find so amazing and just as absurd
First things first, I don't have the answers, no
I am not very book smart
But there's this faith in this unimaginable love
It put me here, it put this song in my heart
It put me here, it put this song in my heart
So hear me out, count me in - count me in
Trying a new song - there's no denying I hear a call
Tying together a chorus with the Verse
And trying to put first things first
First things first, I have a history
A bitter winter - it was dark, I was tired
I awoke with the shining and the warmth of the sun
It was bright, I was inspired
It was bright, and I'm so inspired
So even if it's sink or swim - I want to jump in
I'm trying a new song - there's no denying I hear a call
Tying together a chorus with the Verse
And trying to put first things first
First things first, sometimes I struggle
To put blind faith in something I cannot see
The more I learn, the more this desire burns
I need to share what is inside of me
I need to share what is inside of me
So if you're in, and if I'm in - lets begin
I'm trying a new song - there's no denying I hear a call
Tying together a chorus with the Verse
And trying to put first things first
Trying to put first things first
Dying to put first things first
