[Verse 1]
Before the sunlight fills the blinds
Before the noise can reach my mind
I open up Your living Word
Let Yours be the first voice heard
You know the prayers I cannot phrase
You hear the sighs I cannot name
Here in the stillness, I draw near
My King, my God, I know You’re here
[Pre-Chorus]
In the morning, You hear my voice
Before the world, I make my choice
[Chorus]
You get my first thoughts, first words
First light of the day
I lay my plans before You
Then I watch and wait
Your truth becomes the rhythm
That my restless heart walks to
Before I face the morning
I wanna face it all with You
You get my first thoughts
My first thoughts belong to You
[Verse 2]
Before I scroll, before I run
Before the list says, “Get it done”
I bring You every hope and fear
And lay them down while You are near
Each line of truth renews my sight
Your mercy meets me with the light
And when I close the Bible then
Your words keep speaking where I am
[Pre-Chorus]
In the morning, You hear my voice
Before the world, I make my choice
[Chorus]
You get my first thoughts, first words
First light of the day
I lay my plans before You
Then I watch and wait
Your truth becomes the rhythm
That my restless heart walks to
Before I face the morning
I wanna face it all with You
You get my first thoughts
My first thoughts belong to You
[Bridge – Melodic Rap]
This is more than a habit
It’s where my heart gets aligned
Truth in my spirit
Before the pressure arrives
I give You the questions
The weight, the unknown
Lay every request
At the foot of Your throne
Then look up, stay ready
Expectant and still
Your answer, Your timing
Your way and Your will
If You are the first voice
That’s shaping my view
Then everything after
Gets filtered through You
[Final Chorus]
You get my first thoughts, first words
First light of the day
I lay my plans before You
Then I watch and wait
Your truth becomes the rhythm
That my grateful heart walks to
Before I face the morning
I wanna face it all with You
You get my first thoughts
My first thoughts belong to You
[Outro]
Hear my words, consider my sighs
Morning by morning, I lift up my eyes
My King and my God, whatever I do
My first thoughts belong to You
