Verse 1
You've got the degrees in your hand, you've got the tech and the plan,
The maps are drawn, the path is clear, but still you feel lost in the land.
You've got the tools, the knowledge base, a brilliant mind to employ,
But you search for direction and peace that no logic can deploy.
Acknowledge all your talents, gifts, your opportunities' rise,
They come from a Source much greater, seen through eternal eyes.
Step back from trying to control, and start to trust the design,
For clarity no algorithm can calculate, a purpose that’s divine.
Chorus
Put God First! Before you do anything,
Put God First! The ultimate foundation you bring.
This is the compass for your soul, the strength in the fall,
The humility in success that answers the call.
Put God First! Every time, no exception, you'll see,
He is the Source, the Partner, the ultimate destiny!
Verse 2
When failure hits and doubts creep in, when Colonel Sanders said "no,"
You may forget the sacred, until the bitter waters flow.
Some people only call on Him like He's a spare tire for the pain,
But He should be your first response, through sunshine and through rain.
Don’t let the pressure win, let the peace overflow,
Before you check the world's demands, check with the One who made the globe.
Schedule ten minutes in the morning, before the scrolls begin,
Because money without peace, my youth, is a disaster deep within.
Chorus
Put God First! Before you do anything,
Put God First! The ultimate foundation you bring.
This is the compass for your soul, the strength in the fall,
The humility in success that answers the call.
Put God First! Every time, no exception, you'll see,
He is the Source, the Partner, the ultimate destiny!
Bridge/Coda
That's the ultimate business plan to guide you on your way.
Your energy, your gifts, your talents, they are not for you to show,
They are for you to serve a purpose, and watch how they will grow.
When you build your life on integrity, on truth that will not bend,
You will grow strong, you will grow solid, and your success will never end.
Chorus
Put God First! Before you do anything,
Put God First! The ultimate foundation you bring.
This is the compass for your soul, the strength in the fall,
The humility in success that answers the call.
Put God First! Every time, no exception, you'll see,
He is the Source, the Partner, the ultimate destiny!
