Priorities

Everybody tells me
My husband should be
My first priority.

Everybody tells me
My happiness should be
My first priority.

Everybody tells me
“Whatever makes you happy.”

I'm here to tell you
That's not the way it's going to be!

You see, my first priority
Is my Lord and King.
Let me tell you, my first priority
Is whatever makes Him happy.

My life's priority
Is to live my life for my King.
My first priority
Is to glorify my risen Savior.

Now, does that priority
Have a certain vision?
That, I cannot say
With certain clarity.

But I can say
It will be a wonderful life
As I am broken and molded
As I am shaped in God's will.

My first priority
Let me say it again
Is to live my life
Not for me, but for my King.
