There's a verse in the Bible,

And I hope you will agree;

That it's one we should live by, Found in Matthew 6:33.

It talks about priority,

First place cannot be shared.

First seek God's kingdom and righteousness,

That means good-bye to worldly cares.

All these things shall be added unto you,

Is a wonderful promise indeed.

For if we place God first,

He will take care of our every need.

If we place God first,

We would pray without ceasing,

We would study His word daily, our knowledge and faith increasing.

We would obey the gospel of Christ,

To be of the kingdom - His Church;

There is no other way for salvation,

I challenge you to search.

We never would miss a worship service,

Having excuses, what could be worse?

No, not even on vacation,

If we would place God first.

Jobs that interfere with Christian duties,

Is not worthy to explain;

For to gain the world and lose one's own soul

Jesus said is vain.

And when we plan our budgets,

God would be at the top of that list too;

Because we must give as we've prospered,

Found in I Corinthians 6:2.

We would probably miss out

On certain worldly pleasures;

But we prefer our brethren,

And have happiness beyond measure!

Jesus said he didn't send peace on earth,

Instead, He said a sword.

For rejection is expected,

When one lives a life for the Lord.

To seek God's righteousness,

Means to His commandments we comply;

Not just some, but all,

Even until we die.

So if we place God first,

Remember, anything less we can't afford;

Heaven will not only be our goal,

Heaven will be our reward.
